Spelling List 1: Adding -ing and -ed — Answers

Part A: Your words

We add -ing and -ed to the end of doing words. Watch for two rules: if a short word ends in one vowel and one consonant, double the last letter (run → running, hop → hopped). If a word ends in e, drop the e before adding -ing or -ed (bake → baking, smile → smiled).

1.jumping
2.playing
3.singing
4.looked
5.wanted
6.helped
7.running
8.hopped
9.stopped
10.baking
11.smiled
12.raining
