This word list highlights the use of double l in longer words. The essential rule here is to double the l when it comes after a short vowel sound.
Examples worth noting:
cellar: In this word, the double l follows the short vowel e.
ballot: The double l follows the short /a/ sound.
bollard:This time, a short /o/ is followed by the letters ll
As you explore these words, consider incorporating them into your own sentences. This practice will not only reinforce the spelling rule but also enhance your vocabulary and overall writing skills.
