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 />

Inflected Endings<br />

Our family is (take) a vacation in Washington, D.C.<br />

As I research the city, I am (list) how many sites<br />

there are to visit. I am (plan) to see many monuments<br />

and memorials. (See) the Lincoln Memorial is<br />

an exciting thought. I am going (jog) past the<br />

Washington Monument. There are new places to visit, such as the National<br />

Museum of the American Indian. I (ask) my best<br />

friend for her ideas about fascinating places to go. She said that I should<br />

see the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. Apparently, many people (cry)<br />

when they visited the Vietnam Veterans Memorial<br />

Wall. I have (log) all my research notes in a journal<br />

that I will take on our trip.<br />

At Home: Make a three-column chart with fi ve verbs and<br />
