My spelling Wobbly.
It's good spelling but it Wobbles,
and the letters get in the wrong places. Winnie-the-Pooh British, 1926

Vocabulary and spelling series

American spelling exercises:
"y" with suffixes

When "y" is the last letter in a word and the "y" is preceded by a consonant,
change the "y" to "i" before adding any suffix except those beginning with "i"
Examples: beauty--beautiful; fry--fries; hurry--hurried; lady--ladies
Try spelling these:

1.

carry + ed =

2.

fancy + ful =

3.

pry + ed =

When a word ends with a "y" and is preceded by a vowel,
to form the plural of its noun,
or to form the third person singular (he, she, it) of its verb,
add "s"
Examples:  toy--toys; play--plays; monkey--monkeys

4.

deploy + s =

5.

 tray + s =

6.

 bey + s =

Write "i" before "e" except after "c," or when sounding like "a" as in "neighbor" and "weigh." When the "ie/ei" combination is not pronounced "ee," it is usually spelled "ei."

Examples: fiery, friend, mischief, view, believe

Examples: reign, foreign, weigh, neighbor, weird, receive
