00:06.690 --> 00:08.040

00:09.970 --> 00:14.560

That's an element in all continuous verb forms at present continuous the path continuous etc..

00:21.910 --> 00:29.470

00:48.020 --> 01:00.480
E and simply add i n g as in like liking right writing and when a four ends in a vowel plus consonant

01:00.960 --> 01:12.600
with double the continent and then add i n g as in sit sitting swim swimming and when it Ferb ends in

01:12.720 --> 01:27.480
i e we change the IEEE e into y and then add i n g as in ly Naing Di dying now the present participle
