Name An inflected ending is an ending that is added to a word to show a change in the way the word is used. When you add an inflected ending, follow the spelling rules shown in the examples below to keep the vowel sound of the base word the same. Add -ing for present tense and -ed for past tense. Examples: hope + -ing = hoping Drop the silent e so that hope keeps a long o sound. hop + -ing = hopping Double the end consonant so that hop keeps a short o sound. deny + -ed = denied Change the y to i so that deny keeps a long e sound and the long i sound of y. Say the words below aloud. Add the best inflected endings from the box to the base words. Write the new word on the line using the spelling rules. Use the tense in parentheses to help you. 1. drip (present) + = 2. amuse (present) + = 3. jog (present) + = 4. qualify (past) + = 5. rake (present) + = 6. rely (past) + = 7. forbid (present) + = 8. ease (present) + = 9. apply (past) + = 10. regret (past) + = 58 Maya Lin • Grade 5/Unit 2 -ing -ed Practice Phonics: Inflected Endings At Home: Together with a family member or helper, read a newspaper to fi nd fi ve more words with infl ected endings.
