1. INFLECTED ENDINGS

2. These are the rules that will help you write the words correctly when you want to add the endings: ed – ing.
When a word ends with “e”, drop the “e” before adding –ed or –ing.
Example: b a k e b a k e d b a k i n g

3. 2. When y is the only vowel at the end of a word, change
the “y” to “i” before adding –ed.
There is no spelling change when adding –ing.
Example: t r y t r i e d t r y i n g

4. 2. When a word ends in a single consonant and the vowel
before it is short, double the consonant before adding
-ed or -ing.
Example: b e g b e g g e d b e g g i n g

5. Now, let's try to do an exercise.
Make a chart like this one on a piece of paper:
Base word ed -ing
head
play
charge
discover
carry

6. Add the endings –ed or –ing to form new words.
The first one is done for you.

head headed heading

charge
discover

drag

7. Check your answers.
