Rules for Spelling Correction.

Dear Aspirants

Welcome to hpexamsadda. Today we are coming with the topic which is easy but effective in upcoming exams. One of the important rules are written here.

Rule 1: If the word to which the suffix “full” is added ends in “LL”, one “L” is removed from the word also.
Example-:
Skill +full = skilful
Will + full= wilful

Rule 2: When the suffix “full” is added to a word, one “ L” is removed.
Example-:
Faith + full = faithful
Use + full= useful
Fruit+ full=fruitful

Rule 3:  Words of two or three syllables ending in single vowel + single consonant double the final consonant if the last syllable is stressed.
 Example-:
Permit + ed = permitted
Occur + ing =occurring

Control + ed =controlled
Begin + ing = beginning

Rule 4:  Consonant ‘I’ is doubled in the words ending in single vowel + “I” before a suffix beginning with a vowel 
Example-:
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 
Example-:
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 
Example-:
Hope + full = hopeful
Sincere + ly= sincerely
Exceptions 
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”. 

Example-:
Carry ed = carried
Happyly = happily
Marry + age = marriage
Beauty + full = beautiful
Exceptions
Marry + ing = marrying
Carry + ing = carrying
Rule 8:  A final “y” following a vowel does not change before a suffix. Eg:
delay + ed = delayed
Play + er = player
Pray + ed= prayed

Rule 9: When the suffix “out” is added to a word ending in “ce”, “e” is changed to “i”.
Example-:
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”, “ie” is changed to “y”.
Example-:
Lie + ing= lying
Die + ing = dying
Tie + ing= tying
