Spelling Rule: “to double or not to
double, that is the question”
(Applies to words that have one
syllable). When a short vowel is
followed by one consonant at the end
of the root word, double the last
consonant and add (ed) or (ing).
To state this rule simply; “short vowel, one consonant,
double” (It needs a friend)
