🔷 Rule 1:

   When the suffix “full” is added to a word, one  "L” is removed.

Faith+full= faithful

Use+full= useful

🔷 Rule 2:

 If the word to which the suffix “full” is added ends in “ll”, one “I” is removed from the word also.

Skill +full = skilful

Will + full= wilful

🔷 Rule 3:

   Words of two or three syllables ending in single vowel + single consonant double the final consonant if the last syllable is stressed. e.g:

Permit + ed = permitted

Occur + ing =occurring

Control + ed =controlled

Begin + ing = beginning

🔷 Rule 4:

  Consonant ‘L’ is doubled in the words ending in single vowel + “I” before a suffix beginning with a vowel e.g:

Signal + ing = signalling

Repel + ent = repellent

Quarrel + ed = quarrelled

Travel + er = traveller

🔷 Rule 5

   Words ending in silent “e”, drop the “e” before a suffix beginning with a vowel e.g:

Hope + ing = hoping

Live + ed = lived

Drive + er = driver

Tire + ing= tiring

🔷 Rule 6:

   If the suffix begins with a consonant,  “e” is not dropped e.g:

Hope + full = hopeful

Sincere + ly= sincerely

But,

True + ly = truly

Nine + th = ninth

Argue + ment = argument

🔷 Rule 7:

  A final “y” following a consonant changes to “i” before a suffix except “ing”. e.g:

Carry + ed = carried

Happy + ly = happily

Marry + age = marriage

Beauty + full = beautiful

But,

Marry + ing = marrying

Carry + ing = carrying

🔷 Rule 8:

  A final “y” following a vowel does not change before a suffix. e.g:

Obey + ed = obeyed

Play + er = player

Pray + ed= prayed

🔷 Rule 9:

  When the suffix "ous” is added to a word ending in “ce”, “e” is changed to “i”.

Space + ous= spacious

Vice + ous= vicious

Malice + ous = malicious

Grace + ous= gracious

🔷 Rule 10:

   When the suffix “ing” is added to a word ending in “ie” then “ie” is changed to “y”.
