3. The Doubling Rule shop (base word) shop + ed = shopped
shop + ing = shopping
The last consonant in shop, p, was doubled before the endings were added. This happens in short-vowel words such as shop that end in just one consonant.
If a one-syllable word ends with one vowel and one consonant, double the final consonant.

4. Dropping Rule like (base word) like + ed = liked like + ing = liking
The e was dropped before these endings were added. This happens if a base word ends with e, and the ending starts with a vowel.
If the base word ends with a sneaky e, drop the e and add –ed or –ing.
