What happens when a word ends in ‘e’ and you add ‘-ing’?
You drop the ‘e’ before adding ‘-ing’ (like ‘hope’ → ‘hoping’).
What happens when a word ends in ‘y’ and you add ‘-ed’?
You change ‘y’ to ‘i’ before adding ‘-ed’ (like ‘cry’ → ‘cried’).

You double the final consonant before adding ‘-ing’ (like ‘run’ → ‘running’).

You change ‘y’ to ‘i’ before adding ‘-ness’ (like ‘happy’ → ‘happiness’).
Why does ‘run’ become ‘running’ but ‘jump’ stays ‘jumping’?
‘Run’ is a short vowel word, so you double the consonant (‘running’), but ‘jump’ does not need it.

You add a ‘k’ before ‘-er’ (like ‘panic’ → ‘panicker’).
Why does ‘hope’ become ‘hoping’ but ‘hop’ becomes ‘hopping’?
‘Hope’ ends in ‘e’ and drops it before ‘-ing’ (‘hoping’), but ‘hop’ needs to double the consonant (‘hopping’).

You add ‘-ally’ instead of just ‘-ly’ (like ‘basic’ → ‘basically’).
