Orthography Drill — Identify the correctly spelled present participle/gerund form (select the standard word from Friming, Burnning, Running, Fryng) with suffix-doubling rule explained.

Given data

• -ing forms given: Friming, Burnning, Running, Fryng.
• Goal: choose the correct standard English spelling.

Concept/ApproachFor short vowel + single consonant verbs like ‘‘run’’, the final consonant is doubled before ‘‘-ing’’ → running.

Option analysisFriming — not a standard verb form. ❌Burnning — ‘‘burn’’ ends with r; no doubling needed → correct form would be ‘‘burning’’; this has an extra ‘‘n’’. ❌Running — correct (run → running). ✅Fryng — missing the vowel ‘‘i’’ (should be ‘‘frying’’ if from fry). ❌

Rule reminderDouble final consonant for CVC (consonant–vowel–consonant) monosyllables when adding ‘‘-ing’’.
