It specifies whether the word has a short or long vowel sound. Take "hop" and "hope:" If you didn't double the P in "hop" when adding ed, they would look exactly the same, "hoped." But if you double the P before adding the suffix, you can clearly see that the word is "hopped."

When you are changing a regular English verb from the present tense to another form, if the verb ends in a consonant, you sometimes add a second consonant of the same type before you add the suffix. example:swim>swimmed run>running
This happens because of the general rule concerning not only "-ed," but any suffix beginning with a vowel. The rule states that if the consonant ends either a stressed syllable or a single syllable word, AND the consonant is preceded by a single vowel the final consonant is doubled. Ex: "refer" becomes "referred," but "depart" remains "departed."
If the word ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern it gets a double consonant +EDe.g. RUB > RUBBED HOP > HOPPEDIf the word ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern it gets a double consonant +INGe.g. RUB > RUBBING HOP > HOPPINGWords ending in w,x,y,z don't follow this rule, just add ED or ING e.g. snowed, snowing, boxed, boxing
The name James is a vowel consonant e word but s is not a suffix.
When a suffix is added to a word ending in a consonant the y changes to an I.
Because the stress is on the second syllable of the base word ending in consonant + vowel + consonant. its what separates the U from the E so it dos'nt make the word sound like (oh-cure-ence)

No, accept -accepted, accepting. The last consonant is usually doubled in short words, ending in a vowel + one consonant: get -getting, swim - swimming, run -running. There are some examples for two-syllable words as well: commit - committing, admit -admitting, travel -travelling. etc.

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.
The final consonant is doubled before a suffix if it's preceded by a short vowel, like theu in run, but unlike camp, where there is another consonant before the final sound.
The prefixes 'a' and 'an' mean without, as inasymmetricaland anarchy. 'A' is used before a consonant and 'an' is used before a vowel.
You double the final consonant before adding the "ed" suffix if both of the following conditions are met: The word is one syllable The word has a single, short vowel followed by a single consonant at the end (e.g., "run" becomes "running," "swim" becomes "swimming")
This happens because of the general rule concerning not only "-ed," but any suffix beginning with a vowel. The rule states that if the consonant ends either a stressed syllable or a single syllable word, AND the consonant is preceded by a single vowel the final consonant is doubled. Ex: "refer" becomes "referred," but "depart" remains "departed."
You change the "y" to an "i" before adding a suffix that doesn't start with "i" if a consonant is before it because people might think that the "y" is saying /y./
