Explanation:
You must double those final consonants that you have in your word before a suffix which means first, double the final consonant and then add it.
For example, it can be, stop-stopped(stop + p + ed), bag-bagged, drop-dropped, fog-foggy, run-running. It is used when some of the words are ending with the consonants.
Suffixes that you add, in this case, should be vowel suffixes which are ED and ING.
See, if you have a good reading comprehension, two readings might be the perfect to analyze the structure, but if you that slower, you might need three or even four. Depends. So, final read must be great.
I think it's because we are in a new era where we begin to fully understand the meaning of certain things that generations never really took the time out to learn about or were never given to chance to learn of at a certain age and we just try to make a difference by not letting detrimental parts of history repeat itself. That's how I see it hope it helps.
