Dubbiling the last consonant

Dubbiling the last consonant

DEAR STUDENT:

-The words ending in one consonant preceded by one vowel, double the final consonant before a suffix beginning with a vowel.

1vowel + 1 consonant 

For examble:

run + ing = running
big + est = biggest
hot + er = hotter

But

There is Exceptions for Doublling the final consonant spelling rules

: if the word ends with two or more consonants, or if the final consonant is preceded by two vowels instead of one.

For examble:

debt + ed = debted
boat + ing = boating
