Re:
  • 9) Use of "it"
    10) use of "ing"
    11) use of e
Use it as a pronoun. Example:
  • A: Do you know what happened to the cheese?
    B: Yes, I ate the last of it.
In the above example, it is a pronoun for cheese.

Use ing to form the present progressive or present participle. Examples:
  • I enjoy swimming. Yesterday, I went swimming. I am swimming again today. I shall go swimming again tomorrow.

In English, we use e at the end of a word to indicate a long vowel sound. Examples:
  • mat, mate
    rat, rate
    sat, sate
    not, note
    rot, rote
    bit, bite
    sit, site
    cut, cute
    mut, mute
