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
