Why is pulled a double consonant word with one syllable?

"Pulled" is not a double consonant word. It has only one consonant, "l," which is doubled in the past tense form of the verb "pull." The doubling of the consonant is a grammatical rule for past tense verbs ending in a single vowel and a single consonant, not a characteristic of double consonants.

Let's break down the word:

* Pull: This is the base form of the verb, a single syllable with one consonant.

* Pulled: This is the past tense form, still a single syllable. The "l" is doubled because the base form ends in a single vowel and a single consonant.

Therefore, "pulled" doesn't have double consonants in the sense of two consecutive consonants. The doubling of the "l" is a grammatical rule, not a defining characteristic of the word itself.
