Doubling a Final Consonant

Doubling a Final Consonant

Double a final single consonant before a suffix beginning with a vowel when both of these conditions exist:

1) a single vowel precedes the consonant;

2) the consonant ends an accented syllable or a one-syllable word.

EXAMPLES:
stop + ing = stopping
admit + ed = admitted
occur + ence = occurrence
stoop + ing = stooping
benefit + ed = benefited
delight + ful = delightful


Interesting that!
