Do you remember THE FORM of the Present Perfect Simple and the Present Perfect Continuous?
Icono IDevice Important

Remember the -ed spelling rules you need for the Present Perfect Simple and the -ing spelling rules you need for the Present perfect Continuous.

-ING -ED
  • Normally just add -ing: work - working.
  • If the verb ends in -e, eliminate it before adding -ing: live - living.
  • If the verb ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, double the consonant: stop - stopping.
  • If the verb ends in -y, DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING!: study - studying.
  • The general rule is: add -ed to the infinitive form (work-worked).
  • If the verb ends in 'e': just add -d (live-lived).
  • If the verb ends in consonant+vowel+consonant: double the consonant before -ed (stop-stopped).
  • If the verb ends in consonant + y: change 'y' to 'i' and add -ed (study-studied).
