This week we are looking at how to add the ‘ing’ or ‘ed’ suffix to 2 syllable verbs which don’t end in e. We’ve found begin, prefer, limit, garden, forget and gallop.
We noticed that when you stress the first syllable, you don’t double the final consonant but if you stress the second syllable, you have to double the final consonant before adding the suffix.
Can you think of any other 2 syllable verbs which don’t end in e?
