how about ” appalled , cruelled, duelled , refuelled …” they end with “l” , so will we double “l” in all cases ?
bexelu
Hi – just watched your doubling consonant video (thank you!!). What about the word row? It is one syllable and the last 3 letters are CVC, but it is rowing not rowwing…?
Lisa
Of course The final letter of the word “row” mustn’t be doubled because it’s not a matter of letters but sounds i.e. the word row as you can notice ends with a diphthong /əʊ/, so why to double the letter “w” then? I hope I could help you

The doubling rule applies for words ending in one short vowel + one consonant, so “exited” is an exception.

Thank you all,
Joao Correia
Hello Alex,
I have been studying your lessons and I wonder if you can help me with this question:
Is there any rule or explanation for some english words have double consonants in cases on which the comparative, superlative, past or progressive rules aren’t aplicable, such as the words “grammar” or “announcement” ?
All the best,
João
Joao Correia
Thank you Alex for your lessons it was clear
God bless you

Hi Alex, I make Daniela words’ mine. I’m studying English for so long and for the first time I understood about doubling consonants. My question is; why teachers don’t explain it as clearly as you do, why why ????? Anyway, thank you sooooooooo very much. You are the best!!!!!!!!!!!
ivani
5 out of 5 , great lesson !
manny2009
4/5 80%
miletzar76
Thanks for the great lesson.
are there more exceptions to these rules?
as for ADVISE, it is 2 syl word with stress at end, but it would be ADVISED, ADVISING?!
Mohsen Lotfi
I think in this case we have open syllable: “VISE”, and because of it we don’t need to double consonat “S”. Otherwise the pronanciation of syllable “VISE” would be changed.
daniyar
In other words we need to double consonants in order to keep pronanciation of the syllable. Am I right? bite – bitting; bit – bitting.
daniyar
Excuse me. I wanted to say: bite – biting, bit – bitting.
daniyar
For the same reason we must double consonats in the words “Quit” and “Equip”. Is it correct?
daniyar
Great lesson, thannk you!
buyeromanya
Great lesson, thank you!
buyeromanya
May I ask a question? According to the ‘cvc’ rule, should the progressive form of ‘ring’ be ringging?

How about the verb “fix”? We don’t double the consonant and it ends in CVC. Why is that??? Can anyone tell me, please?!

Because x has two consonants which are /k/ and /s/. Like the word boxing we can’t double the x

Hi Alex!
Thank you for the lesson!
But what about such verbs like: “to cancel” , “to travel” and so on? They also consist from two syllables being stressed on the first one just like in your examples: “to enter” and “to exit”. But still the verbs I’m talking about are spelled with a double “l” when either “-ing” or “-ed” is added.
Is there any other rule that could be applied for such verbs?
ArturvonMueller
thank you

I didn’t understand the (stress )rule
and how do we know which part of the word is stressed more
can anyone help?

Alex, thank you so much.
Marta Lopez
Hello Alex
this video is very helpful for me but I have some questions about the rules you had discussed
1 when the stress is on the second syllable of the word we have to follow the CVC rule if somewhere CVC rule is not applicable then what to do, just add other things while leaving consonant single.
Anil Kumar Malhi
2. you also had discussed the exception of the rule is it applicable only for the “qui” words or it is applicable on any double vowel word, if it is then please give me some examples.
Thanks to you
Anil Kumar Malhi
Thank you, Alex, for your Lessons

5 out of 5 , great lesson !
4/5 80%
Thanks for the great lesson.
are there more exceptions to these rules?
as for ADVISE, it is 2 syl word with stress at end, but it would be ADVISED, ADVISING?!
I think in this case we have open syllable: “VISE”, and because of it we don’t need to double consonat “S”. Otherwise the pronanciation of syllable “VISE” would be changed.
In other words we need to double consonants in order to keep pronanciation of the syllable. Am I right? bite – bitting; bit – bitting.
Excuse me. I wanted to say: bite – biting, bit – bitting.
For the same reason we must double consonats in the words “Quit” and “Equip”. Is it correct?
Great lesson, thannk you!
Great lesson, thank you!
May I ask a question? According to the ‘cvc’ rule, should the progressive form of ‘ring’ be ringging?
Thanks!
It’s an interesting exercises to test our knowledge.simply superb.
not clear ????
Thank you for your lesson.
I got 100%.
I’m really clear now.
seems to me very difficult lesson.
Thanks a lot, Alex!
Sir Alex I just want to ask. What if the student don’t know where to put the stress in the 2 syllable word? Is their any way to deal with this kind of problem?
Thank you Sir Alex.:) I got perfect again.:D…lol
Great formula.Thanks alot.Got 100%
usefull rules, thank Alex
Sorry sir! Its very hard.!!!!!!!!!!!
How about the verb “fix”? We don’t double the consonant and it ends in CVC. Why is that??? Can anyone tell me, please?!
Because x has two consonants which are /k/ and /s/. Like the word boxing we can’t double the x
I’ve got 5 correct out of 5 :D

Thanks in advance for such a great material, absolutely useful. 5 out of 5.
Hi Alex!
Thank you for the lesson!
But what about such verbs like: “to cancel” , “to travel” and so on? They also consist from two syllables being stressed on the first one just like in your examples: “to enter” and “to exit”. But still the verbs I’m talking about are spelled with a double “l” when either “-ing” or “-ed” is added.
Is there any other rule that could be applied for such verbs?
thank you
5/5 – nice result
hello
I didn’t understand the (stress )rule
and how do we know which part of the word is stressed more
can anyone help?
Alex, thank you so much.
Hello Alex
this video is very helpful for me but I have some questions about the rules you had discussed
1 when the stress is on the second syllable of the word we have to follow the CVC rule if somewhere CVC rule is not applicable then what to do, just add other things while leaving consonant single.
2. you also had discussed the exception of the rule is it applicable only for the “qui” words or it is applicable on any double vowel word, if it is then please give me some examples.
Thanks to you
Thank you, Alex, for your Lessons

The word cook has one syllable but we didn’t double the k in the word cooking. Booking and biking as well. Can I know why?
