Mastering Spelling Rules: Understanding the "Y" Change with Suffixes

In this lesson, we'll explore the spelling rule where a word ending in 'y' changes to 'i' when preceded by a consonant while adding suffixes that do not start with 'i'. Notably, if the 'y' is preceded by a vowel or when adding '-ing', it remains unchanged. We will look at several focus words such as 'beautiful' and 'mysterious', as well as discuss common misspellings and confusing words. Enhance your spelling skills and deepen your understanding of academic vocabulary, roots, prefixes, and suffixes.
