The -ing form of the verb can be used as a noun or in a noun phrase. The noun or noun phrase can be the subject of a verb: Swimming is fun. Learning languages is useful.
Or it can be the object of a verb: I like travelling. I enjoy watching foreign films. There are spelling rules for forming the -ing form. • With most verbs, we just add -ing: talk / talking.
Get it right! We can use a the -ing form to talk about an activity, e.g. studying, working, visiting. Studying at home is difficult because I share a room with my brother.

Use of English
-ing forms as subjects and objects Use of English The -ing form of the verb can be used as a noun or in a noun phrase. The noun or noun phrase can be the subject of a verb: Swimming is fun.

There are spelling rules for forming the -ing form. • With most verbs, we just add -ing: talk / talking. • With verbs ending in one e, we delete the e and add -ing: write / writing.

But there is often a separate noun form that we use in other contexts, e.g. studies, work, visit. She has to combine her studies with her football training.

Present continuous Use of English We use the present continuous for actions that are happening at the time of speaking: ‘Why are you crying?’ ‘I’m not crying. I’m laughing.’
•
When the verb think means believe, we do not use the present continuous: I think it’s important to learn languages. BUT: ‘You look sad. What are you thinking about?’ ‘I’m thinking about my cousin who is very ill.’
We can use the present continuous or the present simple with feel and look when we talk about how someone feels or looks now. I feel happy today. OR: I’m feeling happy today. You look relaxed. OR: You’re looking relaxed.
•
We can use the present continuous with have when it doesn’t mean possess or own: Are you having a nice time in France? BUT: I have a lot of relations.
•
We can use the verb be in the present continuous when we are talking about how someone is acting or behaving now: He is usually very polite. Why is he being so difficult today?

If you live in a desert, you need a house that is resistant / efficient 1 to heat and that can stay cool even when the sun is at its hottest. A traditional / comfortable 2 method of building in the Sahara Desert is using zinc / earth 3 made into sun-dried bricks. This method is environmentally high / friendly 4 and energy efficient / renewable 5 since the earth does not need to be built / transported 6 and the bricks are dried by the sun. Also earth walls do not conduct / cover 7 heat. They keep a house cool during the hot daytime, but the heat stays in them at night when the energy / temperature 8 drops.

Relative clauses beginning with prepositions Use of English In formal written English we can make relative clauses using relative pronouns with prepositions: There is a huge balcony. You can see the ocean from the huge balcony. We can combine those two sentences with a relative clause beginning with a preposition + which: There is a huge balcony from which you can see the ocean.

Now read these two sentences: The designer has won awards. They toured the city with the designer. We can combine those two sentences with a relative clause beginning with a preposition + whom: The designer with whom they toured the city has won awards.
