Spelling Tips

Spelling words when adding the sufix -ness	The tip here is to leave the spelling of the root word alone when adding the suffix -ness to any word that does not end in y. Examples: kind + ness = kindness, rough + ness = roughness, soft + ness = softness
When to double the final consonant in a word	Double the final consonant in a word when all of the three rules below fit the word you're trying to change: the word is one syllable, when the last two letters are one vowel + one consonant, and when you add a suffix that begins with a vowel (such as ed, er, est, ing, al, y, etc.). Examples: swim, swimming, swimmer hot, hotter, hottest, hottest pen, penned drag, dragged, dragged flop, floppy, flopping rob, robbing, robber, robbed
What to do when you want to add the suffixes -ness, -age, or -ly to any word that ends in the letter y	Here, you change the y to an i. As simple as that. Examples: lonely + ness = loneliness marry + age = marriage busy + ness = business happy + ness = happiness day + ly = daily
When adding the suffix -ful to any word, spell it as -ful, not -full!	Just what it says. Make sure to follow the rule: Examples: thought + ful = thoughtful cheer + ful = cheerful hand + ful = handful mouth + ful = mouthful
There are almost no common, proper English words that end in j, q, u, v, z	Unless you are talking about slang, or the name of a special city, there are almost no words that you would use in your writing or speech that end in these letters. However, there is only one exception: buzz.
