Rule 1 discusses adding double consonants for one-syllable words ending in consonant-vowel-consonant and stress placement for two-syllable words. Rule 2 addresses dropping the final e before adding suffixes. Rule 3 covers changing y to i before adding -ed when it follows a consonant. Rule 4 discusses simply adding suffixes for words ending in two vowels+consonant or double consonants. Examples are provided to illustrate each rule.

    Double Consonants

    Why do some words have double consonants while others have only one?
    Here are some basic rules for spelling -ED and -ING words:

    Rule 1: Words ending with a Consonant-Vowel-Consonant Pattern


    (Review Consonants and Vowels)
    One-syllable words:
    ED = If the word ends in a CVC pattern, it gets a double consonant
    + ED. * note
    ING = If the word ends in a CVC pattern, it gets a double consonant + ING.
    * note
    Examples:
    ED = RUB > rubbed, STOP > stopped
    ING = HOP > hopping, SIT > sitting
    *note: Words ending in w,x,y,z do not follow this rule, simply
    add ED, or ING
    Examples: snow > snowed, box > boxing, play > playing
    Two-syllable words:
    ED = If the stress is on the first syllable, the word only gets one consonant
    + ED.
    ING = If the stress is on the first syllable, the word only gets one consonant
    + ING.
    Examples:
    visit > visited, open > opened
    happen > happening, enter > entering
    ED = If the stress is on the second syllable, the word gets
    a double consonant + ED.
    ING = If the stress is on the second syllable, the word gets
    a double consonant + ING.
    Examples:
    refer > referred, admit > admitted
    begin > beginning, permit > permitting
    Consonants = b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z
    Vowels = a, e, i, o, u
    Practice two-syllable ed-ing endings...

    Rule 2: Words ending in E


    ED = If the word ends in E, simply add D
    ING = If the word ends in E, drop the E, add ING
    Examples:
    ED = smile > smiled, fine > fined
    ING = dance > dancing, skate > skating

    Rule 3: Words ending in Y


    Consonant + Y
    ED = If the word ends in Y, and has a consonant before it, change
    the Y to I and add ED.
    ING = If the word ends in Y, and has a consonant before it,
    simply add ING.
    Examples:
    ED = study > studied, marry > married
    ING = carry > carrying, reply > replying
    Vowel + Y
    ED = If the word ends in Y, and has a vowel before it, simply add ED.
    ING = If the word ends in Y, and has a vowel before it, simply add ING.
    Examples:
    ED = play > played, stay > stayed
    ING = enjoy > enjoying, stray > straying

    Rule 4: Other words...


    words ending in two vowels + a consonant
    ED = If the word ends in two vowels + a consonant, simply add ED.
    ING = If the word ends in two vowels + a consonant, simply add ING.

    Examples:
    ED = dream > dreamed, rain > rained
    ING = need > needing, beep > beeping
    words ending in a double consonant:
    ED = If the word ends in a double consonant, simply add ED.
    ING = If the word ends in a double consonant, simply add ING.
    Examples:
    ED = park > parked, earn > earned
    ING = need > needing, laugh > laughing
