Thumb rule

 when “EI” to be used instead of “IE”

I before E, Except after C or when sounding like AY as in neighbour and Weigh

 

Exceptions are

Seize, either, neither, height, species, weird,

counterfeit, forfeit,

science, conscience, sufficient,

foreign, leisure( covered undey “AY”)

 Plural sufixes

Rule: If a word ends with “S”, “SH”, “CH”, “X”, and ” Z” es is added, otherwise s is added.

 

Logic:- these endins are ssssssssss in pronounciation, it will be difficult to pronounce only “S” after these. Hence, “ES” is used.

 

When to use double letters

1. When a word ends in a short vowel ( read as one vowel) + one consonant, we must double the consonant when adding a vowel suffix——- For Example, geting, runner, spotted
