SOME TIPS: 1. Los verbos acabados en -y, al añadir la -ing, no sufren ningún cambio (e.g. study-studying). 2. Los verbos acabados en -ie, al añadir -ing, cambian -ie por -y y después añaden -ing. (e.g. die-dying). 3. Algunos verbos acabados en consonante + vocal + consonante, al añadir -ing, doblan la última consonante (e.g. sit-sitting). 4. Los verbos acabados en -e, al añadir -ing, quitan la -e (e.g. Smile-smiling)
