hello! of course there are some grammar rules to do that.... when you have a preposition and after it you write a verb it is going to be written with ING at the end. at least the preposition be TO... the verb is written with ING...

for example: Charles likes reading books

Charles likes to read books

Charles reads a book before going to the bed (BEFORE is the preposition)

you use ING form in continuous tenses

for example: I am looking for a job right now

she is listening to music....

besides there are some rules to write ING... depending on the verb....

Play - playing (final Y with a vowel before adding ING)

study - studing (Final Y with a consonant before omiting it and adding ING)

Have - (verbs end on E omit this letter and add ING)

some nouns use ING to be formed.....

it is a short review about ING form... i hope it can help you
