Write a sentence that correctly applies one of the spelling rules you learned in this lesson. help pl°1] Drop or Keep the "e"? Rule/If the root word ends in "e" and you add a suffix that begins with a vowel (such as -ing, -ed, -er, -able, or -y), DROP the e./EX (write + er = writer) 2] Doubling Up Rule/When a word has one syllable, ends in CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant), and you add a suffix that begins with a vowel, DOUBLE the last consonant/[EX (swim + ing = swimming)
3]Don’t Double Up! Rule/ do not double the final consonant when adding a suffix../EX [(feel + ing = feeling (not feelling)

Answer and Explanation:

I will provide you with a sentence for each rule so that you can choose the one you think is best.

Rule 1: drop the "e". Dance --> danced; smile --> smiling; like --> likable. There is no need to keep the final "e" when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel.

Sentence: The way she was smiling while she danced made her look more likable.

Rule 2: double up. Tip --> tipped; admit -> admitted. When the word ends consonant +vowel +consonant, we must double the final consonant before adding the suffix. That is true for monosyllabic words as well as words that have two syllables, the last syllable being stressed.

Sentence: The waiter admitted he had forgotten our order, but we still tipped him for his honesty.

Rule 3: don't double up. Travel --> traveler; cheat --> cheated. There is no need to double the final consonant in other cases. If the word has one syllable but does not end in CVC, or if it has two syllable but the first one is the stressed one, we should not double.

Sentence: A traveler who cannot understand the local language is often cheated by salespeople, and ends up paying more.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
