The spelling rules for adding -ING to make the Past Continuous are the same as for the Present Continuous.
過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)詞尾ING得拼寫規(guī)則與現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)詞尾ING得拼寫規(guī)則相同。
● We normally make the Present Continuous by adding ING to the base verb.
● 通常情況下，直接在動(dòng)詞原形后 + ING。
☆ work – working
☆ play – playing
☆ assist – assisting
☆ be – being
● If the base verb ends in vowel + consonant + e, omit the E.
● 動(dòng)詞以元+輔+e（VCe）結(jié)尾，去掉E，再 + ING。
☆ come – coming
☆ mistake - mistaking
● If the base verb ends in consonant + stressed vowel + consonant, double the last letter. If a verb ends in W or X, do not double the consonant.
● 當(dāng)動(dòng)詞以輔元輔結(jié)尾且重音在最后一個(gè)音節(jié)，雙寫最后一個(gè)輔音字母，再+ ING。如單詞以W或X結(jié)尾，直接+ING。
☆ stop – stopping
☆ run – running
☆ chat – chatting
☆ rob – robbing
☆ begin – beginning
☆ regret – regretting
☆ prefer – preferring
☆ show – showing
☆ fix – fixing
Note that this exception does not apply when the last syllable of the base verb is not stressed.
注：如果重音不是在最后一個(gè)音節(jié)，則直接+ING。
☆ open – opening
☆ happen – happening
☆ offer – offering
☆ listen – listening
● If the base verb ends in IE, change the IE to Y and then add ING.
