I'm BLANK with these IDEs.

struggling

--feedback--

This word means to have difficulty with something. Remember to drop the e and add -ing to the end of the word.

--explanation--

To struggle means to have difficulty with something. For example:

• The program is struggling to load. - This means the program is currently having difficulty loading.

The Present Continuous tense is used to describe actions that are happening right now.

In the example above, notice that when forming the Present Continuous tense with the verb struggle, the final e is dropped, resulting in struggling. This is a common rule for verbs that end in e.

In Tom's sentence, he uses the Present Continuous tense to describe his ongoing difficulty with IDEs (Integrated Development Environments).

You should add -ing to struggle because the action is happening right now.
