Selling Rules For Regular Verbs
Most regular verbs simply add -ed and -ing to the simple form (base form).
Examples:
Listen listened listening
Work worked working
If a verb ends in a single vowel followed by a single consonant (VC), and the
vowel has a strong stress, the final consonant is doubled before adding -ed or -
ing.
[Note: All words of one syllable have a strong stress on the vowel.]
Examples:
Stop stopped stopping

6. PROCESS
In the case of verbs that end in -e, we only add -d to form the past tense,
and we omit the -e before adding -ing.
Examples:
grate grated grating
Hope hoped hoping

7. PROCESS
There are two rules for verbs that end in -y:
a. If the verb ends in a vowel plus y (Vy), we simply add -s, -ed, or -ing.
Example:
Play plays played playing
b. If the verb ends in a consonant plus y (Cy), we change the y to i and add -es or -
ed. In the case of -ing, we do not change the y.
Example:
study studies studied studying

8. PROCESS
Verbs that end in w, x, or y do not double the final consonant.

box boxed boxing
tow towed towing
