Tips for adding the suffix 'ing'
Vowel suffix ‘ing’
These words change tense by adding ‘ing’ to a verb (doing word).
- Vowels are the letters ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, ‘u’, all other letters are consonants.
- Vowels can make a short sound (‘a’ as in ‘tap’) or a long sound (‘a’ as in ‘tape’).
- A suffix is a letter or letters added to the end of a word to make another word.
- Verbs are ‘doing’ words or actions (run, skip, jump, shout etc).
- A verb can be written in the past (I ran), present (I am running) or future tense (I will run).
Syllables are the beats in a word: ‘do’ (1 beat), ‘do-ing’ (2 beats), ‘un-do-ing’ (3 beats).
