Have a go at coming up with two-syllable-words that follow the double consonant rule. Try to get at least five.

Here are some two-syllable words that follow the double consonant rule:

1. Butter

Explanation of the Double Consonant Rule

The double consonant rule typically states that when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel (like -ed, -ing, -er, etc.) to a one-syllable word that ends with a single vowel followed by a single consonant, you must double the final consonant before adding the suffix. In the case of two-syllable words, the doubling can sometimes occur if the last syllable is stressed and follows the same pattern.

For instance, in the word "butter," the final syllable (-tter) features a doubled 't' because it follows the vowel 'u.' This pattern is common in many words of this type, reinforcing the phonetic emphasis in pronunciation. It is also important in spelling rules, ensuring clarity and consistency in written English.
