Incorrect spelling, explanation: spelling writting with double t is wrong because the last consonant in a verb is doubled when a word ends with the consonant-vowel-consonant combination. Write ends with a vowel so we don’t double the consonant.
Correct spelling, explanation: writing is the correct spelling because it comes from the base form write. When we add -ing to a word ending with the vowel e, this vowel is omitted in the final form. Therefore write + ing = writing. There is no need to double the consonant t, so writting is incorrect.
