	rolls
	rolling
	rolled
	roller

Here are four more examples:

	draw
	draws
	drawing
	drawn
	drawer

	call
	calls
	calling
	called
	caller

	stretch
	stretches
	stretching
	stretched
	stretcher

	freeze

	(freezing doesn't count since the root word is altered)
	(froze doesn't count since the root word is altered)
