Important:
The Present Continuous is usually formed by adding-ing to the verb.

However, there are three exceptions to this rule:

When the final letter to the sequence of consonant + stressed vowel + consonant, the final consonant is doubled!

Example:

run - I am ru nn ing

begin - we are begi nn ing

The verb ends in a vowel + consonant + e, the e is removed at the end.

Example:

The verb ends in-ie-ie that is transformed into a y.

Example:

l ie - I am l y ing
T he - he is d y ing
