Final answer:

When adding a suffix to a word that ends in a vowel and the suffix also begins with a vowel, a combining vowel is not used.

Step-by-step explanation:

A combining vowel is not used when the suffix begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u). When adding a suffix to a word that ends in a vowel and the suffix also begins with a vowel, you do not need to add a combining vowel. For example, in the word 'create' when adding the suffix 'ing', the combining vowel is not used, so the word becomes 'creating'.
