If the verb ends in – y we use the ending: -ied, for instance: copy – copied.

Sometimes in the verbs which ends in a vowel + a consonant: to stop, to plan, the consonant doubles: to stop – stopped, to plan – planned. We double the consonant if we stress the last part of the word, for instance: prefer – preferred.
