1-Dubbiling the last consonant

DEAR STUDENT:

-The words ending in one consonant preceded by one vowel, double the final consonant before a suffix beginning with a vowel.

1vowel + 1 consonant 

For examble:

run + ing = running
big + est = biggest
hot + er = hotter

But

There is Exceptions for Doublling the final consonant spelling rules

: if the word ends with two or more consonants, or if the final consonant is preceded by two vowels instead of one.

For examble:

debt + ed = debted
boat + ing = boating

Changing "y" to" i" Rule.

DEAR STUDENT:

 Words ending in y preceded by a consonant usually we change them to i before any suffic

lady + es = ladies

reply + ed = replied

But

 Words ending in y preceded by a vowel  usually  we don't change the y to i before any suffic

pray + es = prayes

visit +ed = visited

 

Taking off the final e rule  + Adding e

 

Dear Student:

When adding an ending to a word that ends with a silent (e) we usualy drop the final (e).

 Advance + ing = advancing

Surprise + ing = surprising

But

if the we don’t remove  (e) if it's not silent.

See + ing = seeing

     be + ing = being

 

Adding e

Dear Student:

We add e to the word when we add s to the end of the word, but  only if the word ends with:

Ch- s –sh –x – z

Watch + s = watches

Box + s = boxes

Go + s = goes
