There are four set of criteria for doubling the final consonant of a word when adding a suffix. If said word ends in a single consonant, has a single preceding that vowel, has an accent on the last syllable, and the suffix being added begins with a vowel, the final consonant in the word is doubled.
yesDo not double the final consonant if the suffix begins with a consonant.If a base word ends in more than one consonant, just add the suffix without changes.If a base word has three or more syllables, donotdouble the final consonant.If a base word has only one syllable and ends in one consonant, double the final consonant.If a base word ending in one consonant has two syllables, and thefirstsyllable gets the accent, donotdouble the final consonant.If a base word ending in one consonant has two syllables, and thesecondsyllable gets the accent, double the final consonant.
The rule for doubling the final consonant is that if a one-syllable word ends in a single vowel followed by a single consonant, you double the final consonant when adding a suffix that starts with a vowel. For example, "run" becomes "running."
The word "miss" is an example of a final double consonant because it has "ss". Another example: staff
veldt
