Let’s understand it
In a short one-syllable verb ending consonant-vowel-consonant, double the final consonant before -ed or -ing.
The building rule
stop → stopped / stopping. Do not double w, x, or y. Longer words depend on stress.
See it in a sentence
plan → planned → planned → planning → plans
fix → fixed / fixing
A spelling reminder
A short vowel between consonants often needs the last consonant twice.
Watch out
Wrong: stoped / planing (from plan). Correct: stopped / planning.
