Doubling consonants in past tense

21:05

yeah

21:05

so this one

21:09

it doubles the p

21:10

so instead of stopped with one p

21:14

it

21:15

is with two p's if you only had one p it

21:18

would actually be pronounced stoked

21:21

yeah english is happening funny yeah so

21:23

it keeps the the pronunciation

21:26

oh yeah i never thought of it that way

21:29

so the rule here so what what's the rule

21:32

um

21:33

the rule is when you have a word or a

21:35

verb rather

21:36

that ends in

21:38

vowel

21:40

plus

21:41

i know i know english

21:44

throws its challenge it's okay is that a

21:46

crying face yeah it is that's cute and

21:49

sad

21:55

sorry i'm just typing out so when you

21:57

have vowel plus single consonant

22:01

when you're making the

22:03

symbol past

22:05

it'll become

22:06

you double the consonant so

22:09

consonant times two

22:12

plus e d

22:15

what does that look like

22:17

emily already told yeah

22:19

math emily already told us that but um

22:22

so stop

22:26

becomes stopped

22:28

what's another example

22:35

pat

22:36

so

22:38

um

22:40

so you can see there

22:42

hi jack thanks for joining

22:45

um so you can see here stop it's

22:49

the o ah is the vowel

22:52

the p is the consonant

22:55

so we double the p

22:57

and add the ed

23:00

stop

23:01

stopped again if we write

23:04

s-t-o-p-e-d without doubling it

23:07

um it sounds like stoked which is not a

23:10

word

23:12

that i know it might be a word i don't

23:14

know

23:16

um what's another example of this

23:18

i have some down here too

23:20

um

23:22

let me take a look

23:24

um

23:26

oh i'm picking it i keep thinking of it

23:29

pat no because the past tense of past

23:31

pat oh you're right

23:32

okay i think oh no pat it's padded okay

23:35

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah sorry

23:37

confusing me okay so another one like

23:40

stopped

23:42

is

23:44

padded which

23:47

that is to this is padding that's right

23:51

23:53

usually you pat someone on the back when

23:55

23:57
