Note
The -ing form does double duty: after a form of be it builds the progressive (she is adapting the script), and on its own it works as a noun (adapting takes time). Watch which adapt it carries. With an object it means altering or fitting something, often for a new purpose. Without one, and usually followed by to, it means adjusting oneself to something new, as in adapting to feedback.
