Rule 1: Words ending with a Consonant-Vowel-Consonant Pattern (Review Consonants and Vowels) One-syllable words: ED = If the word ends in a CVC pattern, it gets a double consonant + ED. * note ING = If the word ends in a CVC pattern, it gets a double consonant + ING. * note Examples: ED = RUB > rubbed, STOP > stopped ING = HOP > hopping, SIT > sitting *note: Words ending in w,x,y,z do not follow this rule, simply add ED, or ING Examples: snow > snowed, box > boxing, play > playing Two-syllable words: ED = If the stress is on the first syllable, the word only gets one consonant + ED. ING = If the stress is on the first syllable, the word only gets one consonant + ING. Examples: visit > visited, open > opened happen > happening, enter > entering ED = If the stress is on the second syllable, the word gets a double consonant + ED. ING = If the stress is on the second syllable, the word gets a double consonant + ING. Examples: refer > referred, admit > admitted begin > beginning, permit > permitting
If the word ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern it gets a double consonant +EDe.g. RUB > RUBBED HOP > HOPPEDIf the word ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern it gets a double consonant +INGe.g. RUB > RUBBING HOP > HOPPINGWords ending in w,x,y,z don't follow this rule, just add ED or ING e.g. snowed, snowing, boxed, boxing

The US still mainly uses the spelling "programmed" with 2 M's, although many -ed and -ing forms do not double the ending consonant for a word.The point is moot in the UK, where the spelling of the noun is programme.
The form of the verb to level is spelled correctly as either leveling or levelling.In the US, the single L variant is more common. This is one of several verbs ending in L that may or may not double the consonant (depending on locale) when used with -ER, -ED or -ING. Others include travel and cancel. Words ending in -PEL are normally doubled, because the second syllable is stressed.
no, it's not a verb ending in -ed or -ing.

To form the past tense of a word by doubling the consonant, typically double the final consonant when adding "-ed" only if the word meets the following criteria: 1) one syllable, 2) ends in a single vowel followed by a consonant, 3) has the stress on the final syllable, and 4) is not ending in "w", "x", or "y". Examples include "shop" (shopped), "bop" (bopped), and "plan" (planned).

You double the final consonant before adding the "ed" suffix if both of the following conditions are met: The word is one syllable The word has a single, short vowel followed by a single consonant at the end (e.g., "run" becomes "running," "swim" becomes "swimming")
Double consonants are used in the past tense of some verbs to indicate that the preceding vowel is short. This maintains the original pronunciation of the word, as the double consonant prevents the vowel from becoming long when adding the "-ed" ending. Examples include "stop" becoming "stopped" and "plan" becoming "planned."
