When adding a suffix to a word that ends with a single vowel followed by a single consonant, the consonant is doubled if the suffix begins with a vowel. This helps maintain the original pronunciation of the word.
If the word ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern it gets a double consonant +EDe.g. RUB > RUBBED HOP > HOPPEDIf the word ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern it gets a double consonant +INGe.g. RUB > RUBBING HOP > HOPPINGWords ending in w,x,y,z don't follow this rule, just add ED or ING e.g. snowed, snowing, boxed, boxing
"Folktale" starts with the consonant "f" and ends with the vowel "e."
There are four set of criteria for doubling the final consonant of a word when adding a suffix. If said word ends in a single consonant, has a single preceding that vowel, has an accent on the last syllable, and the suffix being added begins with a vowel, the final consonant in the word is doubled.
Syllables, by definition, contain vowels. If the syllable ends in a vowel sound, it is open. If it ends in a consonant sound, it is closed.
technically careful is not a base word, the base of careful is care, which ends in a vowel.
The rule of doubling the final consonant before adding a suffix occurs when a one-syllable word ends with a single vowel followed by a single consonant. In this case, the consonant is doubled before adding a suffix that begins with a vowel to maintain the original pronunciation and stress pattern of the word. For instance, "run" becomes "running" and "hop" becomes "hopping."
The rule for doubling the final consonant is that if a one-syllable word ends in a single vowel followed by a single consonant, you double the final consonant when adding a suffix that starts with a vowel. For example, "run" becomes "running."
You double the consonant before adding "ing" to a word that has a short vowel sound and ends with a single consonant if the consonant is preceded by a single vowel. This helps to keep the pronunciation of the word consistent.

A sound link in grammar refers to the connection between a word that ends in a consonant sound and the following word that begins with a vowel sound. This connection helps maintain a smooth flow in speech and is often indicated by the use of a linking sound, such as a consonant or vowel sound, to bridge the words together.
