Word list description

These words follow the doubling rule, where the final consonant doubles when adding a vowel suffix to a word ending in a single short vowel and one consonant.

For example:

flap + -ing flapping

dip + -ed dipped

This pattern helps keep the vowel sounds short and clear. The list below includes examples to help you recognise and apply this rule.
