Next Week's Spelling Rule

Next week we will be practicing making nouns that end in "F" or "FE" plural. The rule is that if a noun ends in "F" or "FE" you drop those letters and add "VES" to make the noun plural.

This Week's Spelling Rule

When we have a noun that ends in "Y" there are spelling rules to follow to make that noun plural. This week we have been practicing theses rules.
