In lessons, the children have been learning another key spelling rule: drop the e for ing. All of the words in the list are verbs.
Before the suffix ing is added to the verb, the e needs to be removed.

- to hike hiking
- to write writing
- to use using
- to make making
- to like liking
- to give giving
