It then provides rules for forming the present participle of different types of verbs by adding "-ing": (A) regular verbs, (B) verbs ending in "e", (C) monosyllabic verbs ending in a consonant, (D) verbs with multiple vowels, (E) verbs where the stress is on the last syllable, (F) verbs where the stress is on the first syllable, and (G) verbs ending in "ie".
