- www.engvid.com/ Do you make spelling mistakes? Spelling in English CAN be easy. You just have to know the rules. In today's lesson, I will show you two basic rules about doubling consonants when changing words. You'll also learn how to say these words correctly. Practice these rules with me on our whiteboard, and then take our quiz to make sure you understand. www.engvid.com/basic-rules-to-...
TRANSCRIPT
To be or not to be? [Laughs] Spelling bee. In North America, we have this competition called "spelling bee". It's where children take words -- adults give children words, long words, and the children have to spell them correctly. Now, if you're from Saudi Arabia or Japan or Korea or other countries, right now, you're going, "Oh, my God, no!" Because you have to do this in English, and your alphabet is not ours. Latin speakers tend to go, "Oh, we'll do very well", and you're bad as well. And you want a secret? I'm bad at spelling. So just share it between you and the other hundred thousand people watching this, okay? So I'm bad at spelling. You're bad at spelling. But I have to teach the rules at school, and I do. I actually do. And if you ask me something, I'll tell you the rule. But you might catch me spelling it incorrectly. So this lesson is for you and for me. And I call it Spelling 101.
English is not a phonetic language. It makes it very difficult to learn how to spell. So I'm going to give you English or Spelling 101, which are two little rules that will help you spell when dealing with English vowels. "The long and the short of it", I like the call this lesson. It's a joke in there. The long and the short. Whatever. Okay. Let's go to the board.
Are you hoping -- and "hope" is when you pray. You know? You say, "Please let me win the lottery. Really. I want to win the lottery. Please let me win the lottery. Please let that beautiful girl think I'm nice. Please let me pass the test. I hope. I hope. I hope. I wish. I pray." Or are you "hopping"? Are you hopping, like boink, boink, boink? Like a little bunny rabbit. Are you hopping? You notice one has a P, and one has two Ps. Some of you would have written this because you'd say, "Well it's more than 'hope'. It's long, right?" Because "hop" looks like this, h-o-p. "Hope" looks like this. And anybody from a natural language would probably say, "Well, E -- this must be the correct one." I would think so. It's the longer word. But not in English, no. We don't work like that. The shorter word gets it, and the longer word gets this. When I was I kid, I was always told: Short words, you double it. That's what it was. Okay. It made sense. But there's something a little more to it, and today, I'm going to make it easy for you.
Now, there's a lesson that has been done called "The Magic E". Go check that out. That will help you -- you know, it's a longer lesson that gives you more examples. But just to give you an idea of long versus short, okay? The magic E states this: If you have -- let's look over here. "Wipe", for instance. This is an I, a long vowel sound. There's a consonant and then, an E. If the E is on the end of a word, you have a consonant and then, a long vowel sound. Okay? The E actually causes it to be "wipe", not "wip". Right? So here's how we change it. Because we know this E helps to modify this, we have to drop the E. Okay? Because it's actually silent. You think "wipe", so it looks like this. That's what it looks like. "Wipe", not "why-ppe". Sorry, people from Brazil. No "why-ppe". No "why-ppe" here. Okay? That's part of the problem. Nobody tells you this stuff. But I do. Okay. So it's not "why-ppe" or "ray-tte" or "ho-ppe", just "hope", "rate", and "wipe".
Now, the magic E helps us because we see this, and we know it's a long vowel sound. Yay! But when we're adding is it like, "wipes" or "wiping", "rate" or "rated", hoped or hoping, we have to drop that E. We're told, "Drop the E." It's silent. It's not doing anything, anyway. It's like your unemployed brother in your basement. He's not doing anything. Get rid of him. So "wipe" becomes "wiped" or "wiping". Drop the extra E. Not "wipeed". All right? "Rate" becomes "rated". Oops. Sorry. It becomes "rated". Just add the ED. Or "hoping", in the case up there, it becomes "hoping". We get rid of the extra E. We know it's the long vowel because there's only one consonant. Right? One consonant. One consonant. So we know this must be "wiped", "rated", "hoping". It could even be "hoped". "I hoped you would come." Okay? Don't double the consonant. Don't add two E's. It's just single, single. Easy? Easy. The magic E. Now, we know how it creates a sound. And now, we know how to change it. That's the long of it. The long vowel. You like that?
As an English speaking adult who left school early and can't spell 100% this is very help full. Thank you :)
i like your laugh "MUHUHUHAHAHAAAA"

James you're the best teacher I've ever had!!! keep on doing these amazing lessons :D
Yes, he is.
But the mouth of
🤔😎
Teacher: “Just share with The other hundred thousand people watching this.”
Me: “yeah right, weird flex”
Also me: *checks views... millions.
I'm 29 and I've always struggled with language. The way you teach is awesome! Thank you.. now I can learn more than just math logic and numbers lol
My twin lol
i just found you,and feel like you’re the kind of teacher that makes one learn only because you’re so watchable. You also make it so fun to watch.. I am in love. 😍
Hahaha
You're the god of english lessons, I'm brazilian and I intend on going to the United States for college. Needless to say, your videos have helped me immensely. Thanks

Lesson was made simple and lively with that touch of humour. Amazing!
This what I'm used to saying to my students down here. In the beginning they tend to pronounce the letter E in final words just like in Portuguese. I laughed a lot when you mentioned that.
OMG... best ESL teacher eveerrrr.... I'm from Brazil, but now Im living in Massachusetts.
ESL = English sign language?
I have a competition of spelling with my classmates . You truly help me !thank you so much teacher . From Morocco !😁
I'm from Morocco too!
Me too... 🤩
our brothers from morocco it's nice to see you switched from useless French language to English
Egypt
To my mind, the right thing to do is not to think if the word is large or short. If the word ends with a sequence of "consonant", "vowel" and "consonant" (CVC pattern), we have to double the last consonant and add ING or ED in the end. For example:
Rub (Consonant/vowel/Consonant) = rubbed
Sit (Consonant/vowel/Consonant) = Sitting
Stop (Consonant/vowel/Consonant) = Stopping
But, like everything in life, there are exceptions. For instance, in words with two syllables if the stress is on the first syllable, we do not have to double the last consonant, even if the word ends with a CVC pattern. For example:
Visit (CVC pattern, but the stress is on the first syllable 'vis') = visited
Enter (CVC pattern, but the stress is on the first syllable 'en') = entering
Simple as that.
And yes, we Brazilians have problems with the pronunciation of certain words that do not have a vowel in the end or the sound of it is silent.
This is great, thank you. I am a good speller but I couldn't remember what the rule was to teach my 3rd grader how to convert his verbs. I love your humor 😊
Thank you so much for this lesson! It's very helpful.
Great teacher, you learn, and you have fun doing it. Master teacher. Thank you James.
Love when people make literacy fun!
Thank you so much, you are one of the best teacher ever come cross with. Stay blessed 🙏
James, you're a great teacher! I wish my daughters teachers are as great as you are
im really good in grammar but i needed to improve on my spelling so i needed this thank you! :)
My grammar Will surpass you in 666 days..
Me too
@@mrbuilder2503 This is pretty strange, the most part of the people do not need all these days to learn the orthography, because it is not so hard.
For a long time i have been good it speaking but bad it spelling.....but my spelling improved significantly after watching you videos....Thank you...Love from saudi arabia
Amazing! you add charisma and jokes to your explanations which makes it much more easier to understand
This is a great video and I like to watch to practice my English in listening.
I am Indonesian and live in small town.
In my town no one who could speak English, so I learn English with my self with memorizing some words in everyday. Its look like this is the old way to learn English, but I did it and only in about 4 months I almost memorize one simple dictionary. To practice my English I stand up in front of the mirror and try to talking with myself.
Now I try to combine from one word to another words to make phrases and its no easy for me, but I do it every single day, while watching English video on CZcams.
To practice my English, I start to teach some kids and students and start to mate English Video and try to upload at my CZcams Channel.
Thank you very much for your great English
Good job, mate.
And thank you!
the greatest lesson I have ever taken! Thank you James
really love your pronunciation .very clear for me!
I like your teaching style. This is of course another good tutorial but I am an incredibly notorious misspeller and I have already gone through some renouned books like that one written by Norman Louise. Still I feel like a beginner. My mother tongue (actually standard language, Bengali ) has so many spelling rules that people say if you want to learn a correct spelling , there is only one effective way , Learn it . English spelling is nothing less than this.
Important 'how to spell' teaching on this video. Thanks.
I am a teacher in Mexico, Thanks a lot!! This helps me to my Spelling class!!!
Thank you so much!!!! I have been trying to figure out how to help teach my 3rd grader with homeschool & spelling. This is going to help so much!
Has this helped? I'm here for my son too❤
Your lessons are highly appreciated.
This is really powerful! Thanks a lot! i need more of this.
These videos are great and help so much everybody who needs to learn english grammar. I also recommend because of the mood of teacher.
This what I'm used to saying to my students down here. In the beginning they tend to pronounce the letter E in final words just like in Portuguese. I laughed a lot when you mentioned that. Lol
Thanks im now more confident with my spelling bee in my school,cheers from mexico 🇲🇽❤️.
As a non-english native speaker, I understand you very well, my english knowledge is pretty good when I'm typing and reading. However I do have a serious struggle understanding voices and speaking correctly. I had to watch this video with subtitles to understand you. The video is 6 years old but maybe I can receive a tip from someone how to improve it. I speak english (writing and reading) for many years but I'm not having any good improvement when I try to talk to someone or listen. I tried many pronunciations websites to help me pronounce a word but still not good enough.
wonderful lesson James❤️❤️💐 Thanks a lot ❤️❤️💐
i could't continue the video without making a comment to say you are great teacher

Thank you for your time. I have Learned something new ❤❤
Awesome video the sarcasm actually helped me visualize and understand the spelling rules.
May God bless you for helping us improve our brain.
Also my best technique is:
1. The image of the letters/spelling is in my brain or mind which i remember when my teacher teaches me on that/the word.
I'm Brazilian. I appreciate your videos. Thank you so much for remembering the Brazilian people, Mr. hhaha
