Name<br />
You can change the form of a word by adding a suffix such as -ed<br />
or -ing. This will create inflected endings. The inflected ending<br />
-ed is added to a verb to show that something happened in the<br />
past. The inflected ending -ing is added to a verb to show that<br />
something is happening in the present.<br />
Remember these spelling rules:<br />
1. If the base word ends with a consonant, double the final<br />
consonant before adding -ed or -ing.<br />
2. If the base word ends in y, change the y to i before adding -ed.<br />
3. If the base word ends in silent e, drop the e before adding -ed<br />
or -ing.<br />
Add inflected endings to the words in parentheses, and write the<br />
new words on the lines.<br />
