Sometimes you need to change the letter y. |
All these words end in y. The y here is used as a vowel:
cry | copy | crazy | beauty | silly |
When adding a suffix to a word ending y, we usually change the y to i:
![]() |
![]() |
|||||
|
||||||
![]() |
![]() |
If the suffix is s, we change the y to i and then add es:
![]() |
![]() |
|||
|
||||
![]() |
![]() |
