We add -ing to a verb to form its present participle, and -ed to regular verbs to form the past simple. When doing this, we sometimes double the last letter of the verb, as in these examples:
- stop ⇒ stopped, stopping
stoped
stoping
- refer ⇒ referred, referring
refered
refering
Sometimes, however, we don’t double the last letter, as with the verb visit:
- visit ⇒ visited, visiting
visitted
visitting
To understand this spelling rule, it’s first necessary to know the meaning of vowel and consonant:
vowels = a e i o u
consonants are all other letters (b c d f g, etc).
