I am teaching the first rule, if a words ends in Y, change it to i to add a suffix. I am also teaching the exceptions, if there is a vowel before the Y, then do not change the Y to i.

What a lovely English lesson, it has words used in everyday conversation. Love is a very nice feeling. Loveliest is a little more complicated because the root word is love then we go to lovely that is an adverb? I think and then we go from lovely to loveliest to use are a superlative, like, this is the loveliest lesson I have ever seen.

This is a very good lesson, it is important to have knowledge, it is most for writing and I will also say that with the predictive issue in our computer, the spelling is almost always corrected.

My son is flying home today. Now I remember not to change the y to i when the suffix starts with an i. Good job Gladys. My baby cries when she is hungry. I am not sure about cry and cries, I hope is correct, I am afraid of the exceptions. Writing sentences is like a play I like to play this way, I played yesterday. I have to go back to the lesson, I am not sure if cry and play re correct. I am going to try it again. Trying is the best way to learn, repetition, I have this for sure, if there is a Y and follows an i, do not change the Y. I hope today is sunnier than yesterday. Here I have a doubt again with the word sunny, I think is sunnier, it is annoy, right? loud music annoys him, wow I am not sure about this one either. I have to repeat cry, play, sunny and annoy.

I wonder how much I am learning. I know the basics of remembering but I don't know if it is working.

[gladysgriffin]

Base word is a good word, I was using origin word but base word is much better.

I like to be busy. I am making a sentence with each word. The morning is the busiest time of the day for me. Everybody is busy during the week. Monday is the busiest day of the week, everybody is back to work and school, right? I don't know if I am thinking about what I am writing, at least is a good practice.

[gladysgriffin]

Ah ok . now I get it. The second exception is if the suffix starts with an i, do not change the y, I think this is the easier rule to remember. You see I went from easy to easier, I did it automatic.

[gladysgriffin]

I would say this is a short lesson and I practiced and repeated but I still had an error with the word annoy, I should not have changed the y because there is a vowel before but I did I wrote annois and that was wrong, the correct is annoys

[gladysgriffin]

I am not a cranky person. Some people are crankier when they are upset. If a person is cranky I stay away from him or her. I have had two cup of coffee in one hour, I am not going to leave some to my husband because he could be crankier if he does not find any coffee to drink when he gets up.

Today is a beautiful day, beauty is one thing, wow, this is a little hard, make me to think, that is good. This is an interesting suffix, from beauty we go to beautiful. Yes, flowers are beautiful, The baby is a beauty. Oh no, I think I am running out of examples with beauty, can you believe that? I believe we use beautiful more than beauty, right?
