Tell pupils that there are spelling rules for Present Progressive.
Explain that if the verb ends in “e”, we take off the “e” before adding -ing to the end of the word.
Give the example: I am writing.
Explain that if the verb ends with CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant), we double the last letter and
add -ing, except for verbs that end in w, x, or y. Give the example: I am shopping.
Explain that for verbs that end with CVC and the last letter is w, x, or y, we add -ing. Give the
example: I am paying.
Elicit other verbs for each category. Write the verb in Present Simple on the board and then ask
pupils how to spell it as Present Progressive, using the rules that they just learned.
