Examples include "stop" becoming "stopped" and "plan" becoming "planned." This rule helps maintain the pronunciation and integrity of the original word.

In literacy, the rules for using "ed" typically pertain to forming the past tense of regular verbs. Generally, you add "ed" to the base form of the verb (e.g., "walk" becomes "walked"). However, if a verb ends in "e," you simply add "d" (e.g., "love" becomes "loved"). Additionally, for verbs ending in a consonant followed by a single vowel and another consonant, you double the final consonant before adding "ed" (e.g., "stop" becomes "stopped").
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).
