This quiz looks at adding ‘ing and ‘ed’ to verbs. This quiz enhances the lessons on tense and informs elementary school children of some of the spelling rules when adding these suffixes. This quiz will enhance their knowledge of the English language, how it works, and literacy in general.

If you are doing something now (present tense) then we add ‘ing’ but if you have done it in the past, we add ‘ed’ to the verb (doing word). Test your knowledge on when to add ‘ing’ and ‘ed’ to verbs.

When you add 'ed' onto the end of a word, it automatically moves that word and action into the past.
