Question

write two present participles in which the last letter is doubled​

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a supposed 'rule' in American English that if the final syllable in a multi-syllable verb is unaccented/ unstressed/ un-emphasised, then the last letter of that syllable is _not_ doubled in forming the present participle - eg “worshiping”, “kidnaping” (compare to “shipping” and “napping”).

Answer 2

Verbs that end in –en are called present participles.

Explanation:

• They are used to form the passive voice and as an adjective.
• The most common ending for a –en verb is –ing, but there are many others, such as –stending, –dending, and –sending.
• The most common –en ending for a verb is –ing, but there are many others, such as –dending, –sending, and –mending.
• For example, in the word “running,” the participle “running” ends with an “n.”
• When this letter is doubled, it becomes “running” “running.”
• When a word has more than one present participle, they should be written one after the other without a space in between.
• For example, you would write “running,” “running” “running.”
