Spelling rules:
· In the -ing form, verbs ending in y don't change the y for an i as they do in 3rd person singular, e.g. study - studying NOT studing.
· In the -ing form, when a verb ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, you double the last consonant: e.g. swim > swimming.
Be carefull!!!! You need an object pronoun with these verbs, e.g.
Do you like swimming?
Yes, I like swimming very much.
Yes, I like it very much.
Yes, I like very much. (WRONG)
