Spelling

In English, letter combinations often produce one sound (e.g. ea in meat or reach, or th in this or that, or ck in crack). Sometimes, final letters double (e.g., floss). Sometimes, plurals are formed by adding –s , sometimes by adding –es. Prefixes and suffixes can be added to root words to form new words (e.g., unhappily.) When the inflectional ending –ing is added, a final consonant is often doubled (e.g., shopping). Finally, y changes to i when adding –ed (try -> tried).
