spelling rules
spelling rules from spellodrome/essential spellimg
'i' before 'e' except after: | 'c' with the sound of 'eeeee' eg. belief, receive |
when adding 'y' to a word ending with 'e' you: | drop the 'e' before adding the 'y' eg. noise + y = noisy |
when a word ends in an 'e', the 'e' is usually kept when: | a suffix beginning with a consonant is added eg. noise + less = noiseless |
when a word ends in an 'e' the 'e' is usually dropped when | a suffix beginning with a vowel is added eg. love + able = lovable |
the prefixes 'dis-' the 'mis-' never: | drop their 's' even when added to a word beginning with 's' eg. 'dis' + 'ability' = disability, 'did' + satisfied' = dissatisfied |
