Hopeing Or Hoping? - Spelling Which Is Correct How To Spell

hopeing

Incorrect spelling, explanation: there is no such form as hopeing because when the gerund is created from the verb, ending at the non-syllabic vowel sound e, it should be removed, and then the suffix ing is added to the base. Hence, hopeing is written erroneously, and only hoping is without the mistake.

hoping

Correct spelling, explanation: the word hoping is a gerund, forming from the verb hope that already existed in Old English as hopian. The verb hope was first used in Middle English. And then the vowel sound e, occurring at the end of a syllable, became silent. Making the gerund, it is required to reduce this non-syllabic vowel e and next to add ing ending. As a result, hoping is spelled errorless and hopeing is a misspelling.
