Spelling Patterns in English
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There is one "rule" in English spelling that holds 100% of the time! That is the 1-1-1 Rule. Here's what it says: Words of one syllable (1) ending in a single consonant (1) immediately preceded by a single vowel (1) double the consonant before a suffixal vowel (-ing, -ed) but not before a suffixal consonant (-tion). In other words: 1 syllable Words that have more than one consonant after the vowel don't double EXAMPLES
This rule also applies to multisyllabic words although with some exceptions: Words ending in a single consonant (1) immediately preceded by a single vowel bearing primary stress (1) double the consonant before a suffixal vowel (-ing, -ed) but not before a suffixal consonant (-tion).
The following words in Canadian/British spelling double the consonant (they don't in US spelling); both spellings are acceptable although the Canadian/British version is the most frequently used. Notice, these words all end in 'l'.
If the final syllable does not bear primary stress, the final consonant isn't doubled.
