The composition of the current participle:
1. The current participle is usually added directly to the -ing after the verb's original shape.
ask — asking talk — talking
2. For words that end with unpronounced e, remove e and add -ing.
move — moving write — writing
3. When ending with "one vowel letter + one consonant letter" and reread the syllable, the consonant at the end should be written double and then -ing.
set — setting begin — beginning
4. The -ing ending of individual words is quite special.
die — dying lie — lying tie — tying
age — ageing or aging
toe — toeing dye — dyeing
hoe — hoeing
Note:
Words ending with "one vowel letter plus l" When adding -ing, British people need to write l, while Americans do not write double.
