Take notes of this! :)

• We almost always contract the subject pronoun + be in speaking and informal writing.

• Correct: Yes, she is.
• Incorrect: Yes, she's.

• For most verbs, add -ing to the base form of the verb. (Study - Studying)
• For verbs ending in a consonant + -e, drop the e and add -ing. (Come - Coming)
• For most verbs ending in consonant / vowel / consonant, double the final consonant and add -ing. (Set - Setting, Begin - Beginning)
