The -ing form

To tell that you are about to do something right now you use a form of the verb be (am, are, is) together with
the -ing form of the verb. 

Example
I am playing football.
She is jumping all the time.
They are running fast.

Sometimes you put an extra consonant in to the verb.  

Example
run – running
put – putting

When you do not pronounce the -e at the end of a verb, this e is removed in -ing form.

Example
like – liking
bake – baking
dance - dancing (Pay attention. In one movie they make this mistake!)


Some verbs have irregular -ing form

lie - lying
die - dying
