Okay, let's add the -ing ending to the verbs:
1. study - studying
2. pay - paying
3. dry - drying
4. cry - crying
5. say - saying
6. try - trying
Now, here's a breakdown of the rules for adding -ing:
* For most verbs, you simply add -ing to the end of the word.
* If the verb ends in a consonant followed by 'y', you still add -ing without changing the 'y'.
* If the verb ends in 'e', you usually remove the 'e' and add -ing (though there are exceptions).
* If the verb has a short vowel sound followed by a single consonant at the end, double the consonant and add -ing.
**Answer:**
* paying
* drying
* crying
* saying
* trying
