Spelling list: Words where y does not change
n this list, we'll explore words where the y does not change when adding suffixes like -ing or -ish. Understanding when the y remains will help improve your spelling skills and reinforce your knowledge of English word forms. For instance, when we add -ing to fry, it becomes frying without changing the y.
Additionally, when a vowel appears before the y, the y also stays the same. Examples include enjoys, which retains the y when we add the suffix. Words like turkeys and valleys further illustrate this point, as their base forms remain consistent even when pluralised.
By recognising these patterns, you can enhance your spelling accuracy and confidence. As you review the examples provided, you will see how this rule apply to various words, making it easier to navigate English spelling with ease.
