II. A. Presentation of grammar material / 25 min.

Study the following grammar material. Try to understand it.

1. Present Participle is formed from Verbal Infinitive with the help of ending –ing. It corresponds to Russian Active Participle with suffixes:

-ущ (ющ), - ащ (ящ): to carry - carrying несущий, ( -ая, -ее, -ие)

2. For the preservation of short vocal reading in closed syllable end, consonant is doubled by Present Participle formation: to sit – sitting сидящий

3. In case, when the verb ends on –ie, this lettercombination is changed on – y by Present Participle formation, and the ending – ing is added: to lie – lying лежащий

4. In case, when the verb ends on –e, this letter is lost by adding of –ing:

to take – taking берущий
