Zyadatar ke saath, lekin statue verbs jaise know ya want ke saath nahi. Tum I am knowing nahi kehte.
Why is it smiling and not smilling?
Kyunki smile silent e par khatam hota hai. Hum e ko drop karte hain aur -ing add karte hain. Hum l ko double nahi karte kyunki ye short CVC word nahi hai.

Smart Tips
Just add -ing. Don't think, don't change anything. Just add it!
Check for the CVC pattern (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant). If it fits, double the end!
The 'e' is shy. When '-ing' comes to the party, the 'e' leaves the room.
Say the word out loud. If you shout the end of the word, double it. If you whisper the end, don't.
उच्चारण
The /ɪŋ/ sound
The 'g' is usually silent or very soft. It sounds like a nasal 'n' in the back of the throat.
Stress shift
Adding -ing does not usually change the stress of the base word (e.g., 'HAP-pen' -> 'HAP-pen-ing').
Rising on questions
Are you COMing? ↗
Standard yes/no question intonation.
याद करें
स्मृति सहायक
Remember 'CVC': Consonant-Vowel-Consonant means Double the Consonant!
दृश्य संबंध
Imagine the letter 'e' at the end of a word is a ghost that disappears when the '-ing' monster arrives. For CVC words, imagine the last letter is so scared it brings a twin for protection.
Rhyme
If it ends in 'e', drop it for me. If it's short and CVC, double the end, you see!
Story
The verb 'Dance' was wearing a hat (the letter 'e'). When it started 'Dancing', the wind blew the hat away. The verb 'Run' was so fast it left a second 'n' behind it as it became 'Running'.
Word Web
चैलेंज
Look around the room. Write down 5 things people or animals are doing right now, making sure to check your spelling for each verb.
सांस्कृतिक नोट्स
British English doubles the 'l' in words like 'travelling' and 'cancelling', while American English usually uses a single 'l' ('traveling', 'canceling').
In AAVE, the 'g' in -ing is often dropped in speech and replaced with an 'n' sound (e.g., 'runnin', 'talkin').
On social media, people often replace -ing with -in' to sound more casual or 'cool'.
The -ing ending comes from the Old English suffix '-ung' (used to form nouns) and '-ende' (the original present participle ending).

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल (8)
We double it to keep the 'u' sound short. In English, a single consonant after a vowel often makes the vowel sound long.
No! Unlike the -ed or -es rules, the 'y' always stays in the -ing form (e.g., 'playing', 'studying').
If there are two vowels (like 'ea' in 'read'), do NOT double the consonant. It becomes 'reading'.
Both are correct! 'Traveling' is American, and 'travelling' is British.
Change the -ie to -y. So 'die' becomes 'dying' and 'lie' becomes 'lying'.
Yes, as a gerund (e.g., 'I love swimming'), but usually not to say 'I am loving it' (though McDonald's does it!).
Because the stress is on the first syllable (HAP-pen). We only double if the stress is on the last syllable.
We add a 'k' to verbs ending in 'c' to keep the hard /k/ sound. Without it, 'picnicing' would sound like 'pic-niss-ing'.
