Unit 1 -ing forms

For most -ing forms, we simply add -ing to the
infinitive.

finish - finishing
try – trying
consider – considering

We need to make spelling changes to some verbs.

live - living
write - writing

We use the -ing form as a noun, and to make noun
phrases.

We use the -ing form after certain verbs and certain
expressions.

Some common verbs and expressions which need
an -ing form include be good/bad at, can't stand,
celebrate, don't mind, enjoy, hate, imagine, like, love,
miss, practise, recommend and suggest.
Some verbs can have an object before the -ing form.
