Question

6- Adicione o ing corretamente
​

Answer 1

Resposta:

work → working

sit → sitting

smoke → smoking

Explicação:

-ing Form

We make the -ing form by adding -ing to the base verb and adjusting the spelling as necessary:

We use the -ing form in various ways as shown below.

-ing Form for Continuous Tenses

The -ing form is used in past, present and future continuous tenses, for example:

Anthony was fishing.

The boys have been playing tennis.

We will be working when you arrive.

-ing Form as Subject, Object or Complement

We can use the -ing form as the subject, object or complement of a clause, for example:

Smoking costs a lot of money.

I don't like writing.

My favourite occupation is reading.

Sometimes the -ing form can also have an object itself. In this case, the whole expression [-ing + object] can be the subject, object or complement of a clause or sentence.

[Smoking cigarettes] costs a lot of money.

I don't like [writing letters] and I hate [reading emails].

My favourite occupation is [reading detective stories].

-ing Form with Adjectives and Determiners

pointless questioning

a settling of debts

the making of this film

his drinking of alcohol

Note that when we use the -ing form with an adjective or determiner, it does not usually take a direct object. Compare these sentences:

Making this film was expensive.

The making of this film was expensive.

not The making this film

-ing Form after Preposition

If we want to use a verb after a preposition, it must be in -ing form. It is impossible to use an infinitive after a preposition. So, for example, we say:

I will call you after arriving at the office.

not I will call after to arrive at the office.

Please have a drink before leaving.

I am looking forward to meeting you.

Do you object to working late?

Tara always dreams about going on holiday.
