Incorrect spelling, explanation: carring is incorrect as it lacks the letter y. We don’t skip the last y when adding -ing ending to a verb, therefore the correct form is carrying. We only skip e if it is the last letter of the word to which we want to add -ing. Here however carrying is the correct form.
Correct spelling, explanation: this is the correct form as carry is the base verb here, so to create the form carrying -ing ending is added. There is no need to skip y. We only omit the last letter adding -ing if this last letter is e. This means that carrying is the correct form and carring is not.
