Understanding Consonant Doubling Rules

The video tutorial explains the concept of doubling consonants when adding suffixes to words. It introduces the 1-1-1 rule, which states that if a word has one syllable, one short vowel, and ends with a consonant, the final consonant is doubled when a suffix is added. The video provides examples like 'hop' becoming 'hopping' and exceptions like 'peel' not doubling the consonant. The tutorial aims to help learners understand when and why to double consonants in English spelling.
