Stopping Or Stoping? - Spelling Which Is Correct How To Spell

stopping

Correct spelling, explanation: this form, stopping, with consonant p doubled, is the correct one because the word stop ends with a combination of letters: consonant-vowel-consonant. According to the rule, such a combination means that the last consonant is doubled when we add any suffix to a word. Therefore stopping is created as a correct form, and stoping is a mistake*.* Notice: there is a term in geology, which is called stoping – it is a process of magma moving upwards, also known as magmatic theory. In this case, however, it is a separate noun, not a verb with a suffix.

Definition of stopping:verb, -ing form of stop; to cease to go or do something, not moving anymoreWe were stopping at every clothes store to find the right shoes.This bus isn’t stopping at the square today because there is a fair there.

stoping

Incorrect spelling, explanation: this form is wrong since p should be doubled (as the last consonant of a consonant-vowel-consonant combination that ends the word). Therefore when the suffix -ing is added to the word stop, the result is stopping, not stoping.
