About this resource
The worked example shows stop becoming stopped by doubling the final consonant before adding -ed. Students apply that pattern to ten sentence blanks with supplied base verbs, including slam, skip, hug, and plan. The answer key provides the completed past-tense forms for checking spelling in context.
Curriculum reference — Ontario: Applying an inflectional suffix in sentence contexts supports Ontario Grade 2 morphological spelling. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
