四、照样子，写出下列动词的ing形式。
eg: sleep sleeping
1. swim
2. play the piano
3. run
4. write a letter
5. take picture
6. skate

1. swimming 2. playing the piano 3. running 4. writing a letter 5. taking picture 6. skating

动词变ing形式的规则：①一般情况直接在动词后加ing；②以不发音的字母e结尾的动词，去掉e再加ing；③重读闭音节结构（辅音字母+元音字母+辅音字母结尾，且重读）的动词，双写末尾的辅音字母，再加ing。根据规则，各动词短语的ing形式如下：
1. swim是重读闭音节动词，双写末尾辅音字母m后加ing；
2. play是一般动词，直接在词尾加ing；
3. run是重读闭音节动词，双写末尾辅音字母n后加ing；
4. write以不发音的e结尾，去掉e后加ing；
5. take以不发音的e结尾，去掉e后加ing；
6. skate以不发音的e结尾，去掉e后加ing。
