Como passar os verbos para o gerúndio ?
Para a maioria dos verbos é só acrescentar ING no final.
Ex: eat  eating
drink  drinking
play  playing
Porém existem algumas regras que são:
1) Para verbos de uma sílaba que terminam com uma consoante, uma vogal e uma
consoante (C.V.C.), dobre a última consoante e acrescente ING.
Ex: stop  stopping
run  running
get  getting
Exceção: Não dobre caso o verbo termine com w, x, ou y. Ex: show  showing
2) Para verbos de 2 sílabas que terminam com uma consoante, uma vogal e uma
consoante (C.V.C.), dobre a última consoante apenas se a última sílaba for tônica.
Ex: begin  beginning
prefer  preferring
Os acentos acima indicam qual sílada é tônica, nestes casos você deve saber a
pronúncia correta do verbo, agora veja outros exemplos onde você não irá dobrar
a última consoante:
Ex: open  opening
happen  happening
3) Se o verbo terminar com uma consoante + "e" , tire o "e" e acrescente ING :
Ex: live  living
make  making
leave  leaving
