verbs that end in -eler or -e + consonant + er. I have a question about spelling. I learned that if you have a verb that ends in -eler, the "l" in the conjugated form gets doubled (*except for the nous and vous forms): appeler: je m'appelle tu t'appelles il s'appelle nous nous appelons* vous vous appelez* ils s'appellent However, I recently learned the verb "peler" and it seems to follow the "-e + consonant + er" rule, which means the "e" preceding the consonant becomes an è (*except for the vous and nous forms). peler je pèle tu pèles il pèle nous pelons vous pelez ils pèlent So, my question is: Is "peler" simply an irregular verb in which I have to remember this pattern that stands out from other verbs or is there a grammatical rule that states that one spelling rule can supersede another? Is there a logical way to figure this sort of thing out through pronunciation or otherwise? Finally, If there are similar verbs like this, please let me know. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. :D
