Spelling Rules

​Nouns ending with -y

​Nouns or objects that ends with the letter -y have certain rules to follow when you change the singular to plural form.

​

​For singular nouns that end with a vowel (a,e,i,o,u) before -y, we just add -s for the plural.

• ​Example: Singular Plural

boy boys

​

​However, if the nouns end with consonant (not a,e,i,o,u) before -y, we remove the -y and add -ies for the plural

• ​Example: Singular Plural

​ candy candies

​Verbs ending with -y

​Verbs or action words that ends with the letter -y also have certain rules to follow when you change to the third person singular.

​

​If the verb ends with a vowel (a,e,i,o,u) before -y, we just add -s for the third person singular.

• ​Example: He / She / It plays​

​However, if the verb ends with consonant (not a,e,i,o,u) before -y, we remove the -y and add -ies for the plural

• ​Example: He / She / It cries
