I learned to make it a double consonant when the preceding vowel has a short sound. Makes sense to me!

I tried to find a hard and fast rule for you in "The Chicago Manual of Style". I did not find it. Basically using the double consonant depends on the tenses of the verbs and the particular words. There may be a list of the words that would require double consonants such as fall/falling, butt/butting, fret/fretting/fretted, wet/wetting/wetter/wettest, bet/betting, but not warn/warning. Ask your teacher if she has the list of words requiring the double consonants. There is a list. I used to have one. I had one for the irregular verbs too.
beginning, planning, swapping, hopping, swimming, grabbing, sitting, admitting,
stopping :-)
missing, buzzing, fussing, getting, putting, traveling, quarelling, swimming
stopped shopping
Most words that do not end in "e."
Some examples of verbs that double the last letter before adding "ing" include: running, swimming, stopping, and hitting.
It would be a gaping hole. Gape ends in 'e' so you drop the 'e' before adding '-ing'. However, on a word that ends in a consonant, such as "hop", you double the last letter and add -ing (hopping).
A fool
The last letter is N. Three letters before the last letter is E. Two letters before the E is A. The answer is the A.
The answer to this riddle is the letter "L." "First of first" refers to the first letter of the word "first," which is F. "Second of you" refers to the second letter of the word "you," which is O. "Double of you" gives us the letter U (double the letter O). Finally, "First of last" refers to the first letter of the word "last," which is L.
1. adding -es to the word 2. changing the y to i & adding -es 3. dropping the last letter & adding -ies 4. adding -s to the word
D. adding -s to the word
W
If you want the next letter after a given letter, add one. For the previous letter, subtract one. Depending on the programming language, some additional details may be required - such as converting from text to number before adding, and converting back after adding. You'll also have to decide what to do when you get past the last letter - past the "Z" when going up, or past the "A" when going down.
V....before the last, next to last
J has never been the last letter of the Alphabet.
The U. Yes the U came after the double U which used to be called the double vee
