The part people get wrong

Watch for double p. Often misspelled as hoped or hopt.

Same family: hops, hopping, hopper, jump, leap. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Hopped” comes from the Old English verb “hoppian,” meaning to spring or leap. Over time, English kept the same basic meaning, and we still use it for quick, light jumps today.

Patterns it uses: Double the consonant before a suffix?
