Double Consonant Suffix Rules

The video tutorial explains the double consonant suffix rule, which involves doubling the final consonant of a word when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel, provided the word ends with a single consonant preceded by a short vowel. Examples include 'run' to 'running', 'hop' to 'hopping', and 'let' to 'letting'. The tutorial also covers cases where consonants are not doubled, such as 'lift' to 'lifting' and 'lock' to 'locking', due to the presence of two consonants at the end of the root word.
