Double consonants/Mássalhangzók duplázása

Some words double their final consonant when an ending such as –ing, -ed, -er, -able, etc. is added, usually in order to show that the vowel that comes before is short. Fill the gaps in these sentences with the words on the left, doubling the final consonant where necessary.
