Pravopis: -s, -ed, -ing i skraćeni oblici

pravilo	-s (he …)	-ed (prošlost)	-ing
obično	works	worked	working
-s, -sh, -ch, -x, -o	washes, goes, does	washed	washing
suglasnik + y	studies	studied	studying (y ostaje)
samoglasnik + y	plays	played	playing
nijemo -e	makes	lived	making (e otpada)
-ie	dies	died	dying, lying
jedan samoglasnik + jedan suglasnik, naglašeno	stops	stopped	stopping, running

Zašto udvostručiti? Da samoglasnik ostane kratak: hoping (hope, nadati se) ≠ hopping (hop, skakutati). Samo ako je zadnji slog naglašen: begin → beginning, prefer → preferred, ali visit → visited, open → opening. Britanski engleski udvostručuje i krajnje -l: travel → travelled (US: traveled). Nikad se ne udvostručuju w, x, y: fixing, showing.

Engleski se ne piše kako se izgovara: nauči pisanje svake riječi zajedno s riječju.

Skraćeni oblici (govor i neformalno pisanje): I'm, you're, he's, isn't, aren't, don't, doesn't, didn't, won't (= will not), can't, I've, I'd, I'll.

's = is ili has: He's tired (umoran je — is). He's finished (završio je — has, jer slijedi particip).
'd = would ili had: I'd like (želio bih — would + osnovni oblik). I'd seen it (bio sam to vidio — had + particip).
