Write "i" before "e" except after "c," or when sounding like "a" as in "neighbour" and "weigh." When the "ie/ei" combination is not pronounced "ee," it is usually spelled "ei."
If a word ends with a silent "e," drop the "e" before adding a suffix which begins with a vowel
Do not drop the "e" when the suffix begins with a consonant
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"
When forming the plural of a word which ends with a "y" that is preceded by a vowel, add "s":
