覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 fling「勢いよく投げる」に -ing をそのまま加えた形で、flinging と綴ります。語末 ng を重ねない点に注意し、過去形・過去分詞は規則形ではなく flung です。ここでは「乱暴に、または勢いよく投げ飛ばすこと」という動名詞で、flinging stones や someone’s flinging of a towel の形を典型場面と結びつけましょう。
Connect flinging to the base verb fling, which means to throw something suddenly and forcefully. Add -ing directly: fling becomes flinging, with no extra g or doubled final consonant. Its irregular past tense and past participle are flung, not “flinged.” In these examples, flinging is a gerund naming the action, as in “flinging stones” or “his flinging of the towel.” Unlike the neutral verb throw, fling often suggests greater force, speed, emotion, or carelessness. Picture an object being sent sharply across a room to fix that extra sense in memory.

Flinging is the -ing form of fling. The verb’s deeper origin is not completely certain, but it is commonly connected with Scandinavian forms, including Old Norse flengja, meaning to whip, strike, or move violently. English fling developed senses involving sudden, forceful movement and throwing. Adding -ing creates the present participle or gerund, which can describe the action in progress or name the act itself.
