| Hi, There are rules: When the verb ends with 1 vowel and 1 consonant you double the last letter and then add -ing; grin-grinning. When the verb ends with 'e', you take the 'e' away and add '-ing'; shine-shining. Iza Quote:

| He is killed. He is kill. <--incorrect This is correct. <--why is this correct? Isn't this a "to-be" sentence? This is corrected. <--correct? What's the difference in meaning between the two above? Children. <--correct Childrens. <--incorrect? why? How do I make it plural? |

| This is correct => this is not wrong. This is corrected => someone has made a correction, so that it's not wrong anymore. 'Children' is already the plural form of 'child', so you cannot make the pural form of a plural form ;) FRC |

| 1. He is killed. (Not OK; killed means, no longer in existence, dead, so 'is', meaning, 'existence', doesn't work with 'killed'). 2. He is kill. (Not OK; there are two main verbs). 3. He was killed. (OK) 4. He killed someone. (OK) 5. He killed. (OK; idiomatic. It means, he did well) 6. This is correct. (OK; Subject + Verb + Adjective) 7. This is corrected. (Not OK; 'corrected' doesn't work as a nominal participle). 8. This has been corrected. (OK; verbal participle) 9. This was corrected. (OK; verbal participle) 10. Irregular plurals don't take -s: child (singular), children (plural); person (singular), people (plural); sheep (singular), sheep (plural), foot (singular), feet (plural) and so on. All the best, :D |

| Are you sure that "it is corrected" is not ok? This bug will cost us a fortune if it is not corrected. The defect is corrected in the latest version. The small bias is corrected using Jalevsky algorithm. FRC |
