Doubling before -ing and -ed
Stop → stopping
Short vowel + one consonant: double it.
The bus is stopping at Kochi.
Run → running
Same pattern: run, running, runner.
Ananya is running in the relay race.
Visit → visiting
Stress is not on the last syllable: no doubling.
We are visiting our grandparents in Pune.
Remember: One short vowel + one consonant, stressed at the end? Double it (stopping, beginning). Never double w, x, y (snowing, fixing). British English doubles l: travelling.
