Your spelling rule - Adding s and es to words (plurals) If the ending sounds like /s/ or /z/, it is spelled as –s. If it forms an extra syllable, then it is spelled as –es.

Your spelling rule – Some words end with an e sound spelled y. English words hardly ever end with the letter v, so if a word ends with a v sound, the letter e usual.

Your spelling rule – tch follows a short vowel.

Your spelling rule - sound is spelt as k rather than as c before e, i and y.
