Adding suffixes to longer words

So, remember, with our longer words, we only double the consonant if the syllable before the vowel suffix is stressed. Look at these examples:

begin + er = beginner	forget + ing = forgetting
equip + ed = equipped	regret + ing = regretting

We don’t need to double it in these words, because there is an unstressed syllable before the suffix:

open + ed = opened	rocket + ed = rocketed
alter + ing = altering	edit + or = editor

And a final reminder that if we are adding a consonant suffix, or the root word ends in two consonants, we don't double either:

attend + ed = attended	reform + er = reformer
desert + ing = deserting	result + ed = resulted

Now try these:

Add the suffix to the root word	Type the whole word:
admit + ing
begin + ing
open + ing
transmit + ed
blossom +ed
garden + er
regret + ing
submit + ed
upset + ing
gallop + ed
occur + ing
perform + er
