Spelling – Rules ü We usually make the gerund adding – ing to the main verb: Talking ü When the verbs end in –e : Liking ü When the verb is a monosyllable ending with a consonant it doubles the consonant: Running ü When the verb is a bisyllable with the stress on the first syllable, it doesn’t double the consonant Opening ü When the verb is a bisyllable with the stress on the 2 nd syllables it doubles the consonant: Preferring ü When the verb ends in –y we simply add –ing : Crying

Use of the Present Continuous to talk about the present . 1 for something that is happening at the moment of speaking: - I’m just leaving work. I’ll be home in an hour. - Please be quiet.

When I get home the children are doing their homework. . 3 for something which we think is temporary: - Michael is at university.

Molto spesso le espressioni di tempo o gli avverbi di frequenza ci aiutano a capire se usare il present simple or continuous. Present simple • I usually study on my own. • She never chats on the net. Present Continuous • At the moment they’re living in town because of their job. • In these months I’m working part-time.
