Past Spelling Changes (Past Simple: Spelling Rules)
Some regular verbs change their spelling when you add -ed.
A short verb may double the last consonant, and a verb ending in y may change to ied.
The meaning stays simple; only the spelling does a tiny dance.
- Example: stop -> stopped
- Example: study -> studied
Quick Rule
- short stressed verb -> double the last consonant + -ed
- consonant + y -> ied
Watch the last letters carefully. They like to surprise you.
