The video tutorial explains how suffixes can be added to base words, sometimes requiring no changes, while in other cases, the final consonant must be doubled. The 1:1:1 rule is introduced, which states that if a one-syllable word ends with one vowel followed by one consonant, the consonant is doubled before adding suffixes like -ed or -ing.
