∙ 13y agoI 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.
