释义

‘-ing’ is an ending added to English verbs to form the present participle (for continuous tenses) and the gerund (verb used as a noun). For example: 'running', 'eating', 'swimming'.

用法与细微差别

‘-ing’ is not a standalone word, but a suffix. It's used to create the continuous/progressive aspect ('is running') and gerunds ('I like swimming'). Never written with a space or alone; always attached to a verb base. Some nouns/adjectives are formed with '-ing', e.g., 'building', 'interesting'.
