The -ing form can be used in these patterns:

  • When you talk about preferences: I like <u>swimming</u>; I hate <u>watching </u>TV. (Person + like /hate/ love + -ing)
  • When you talk about an activity: <u>Studying </u>for exams is hard; <u>Walking</u> in the rain is nice.( -ing + verb)
  • You can finfd the -ing functioning as an adjective: sleeping pills; walking stick; smoking room. (-ing +noun)
  • You should use -ing after prepositions: I am interested <u>in</u> learning Chinese; I am keen <u>on</u> having pasta. ( preposition +-ing)

 The -ing form can be used as a noun. For example: "reading is my favorite activity in my spare time."

 It can also be used as an adjective, for example: "That movie had a very surprising end".

 The -ing form can also be used as a verb in the progressive or continuous tense, for example: "I am watching TV now." (I am watching TV at this moment). Or: "I was waiting for him, when she told me he would not come to the party."  (The action of waiting was in the past, when I heard he would not come to the party).
