This happens because of the general rule concerning not only "-ed," but any suffix beginning with a vowel.

Ex: "refer" becomes "referred," but "depart" remains "departed."

The last letter in a verb is doubled to make it present continuous when both of the following conditions are met: the verb ends with a consonant preceded by a single vowel, and the last syllable is stressed. For example, in the verb "run," the "n" is doubled to "running" in present continuous tense because it meets these conditions.

In English, when adding the -ed suffix to form the past tense, we generally do not double the final consonant if the word ends in a vowel-consonant-vowel pattern (such as in "show"). Therefore, "show" becomes "showed" rather than "showwed" when forming the past tense. This rule helps maintain consistent pronunciation patterns in the language.
The final consonant is not doubled in the past tense form of "open" and "listen" because they do not follow the rule of doubling the final consonant when adding -ed. Instead, they follow different rules for forming their past tense forms.

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).
