If we take 'swim' then we've got 'swimming', 'run' makes 'running' etc. What about 'listen'? Why is it 'listening' instead of 'listenning'? I was taught we took last three letters into consideration and a vowel surrounded by consonants meant last consonant should have been doubled. So that thinking seems to be wrong:( Is there anybody who can explain me that riddle?
