I really nead to know this. I'm supposed to write a paper in english of about 70 pages and I am afraid of making mistakes.

So, If you know something about this please help me.

I'm afraid it is just a case of knowing the spellings, there isn't an easy rule for this.

Can you run a spell-check on your paper?

Hi Teyla,

Nona's suggestion is a good one. Your word processor's spell checker and a dictionary are your "best friends" in determining the correct spelling and usage.

Here's an example where you need both spell checker and dictionary as both are English words. Take out one letter ("t") and they have completely different meanings: liter vs. litter. One is a unit of measurement; the other is trash.

The litter they collected off the floor amounted to a liter.

Good luck! (And by removing one "o" in "good" you get "***"!)

Many people believe that *** is good.

There are so many rules about double letters that it is nearly impossible to learn them all - and all the exceptions - especially in time to write a paper. I'd go with the spell-check tool instead, given the circumstances.
