বিসিএস প্রিলিমিনারি – ইংরেজি – Spelling Mistakes
Rule #1: “I before E except after C”;
This rule, designed to help us remember how to spell words such as receive and chief, seems so promising in its simplicity at first.
- achieve, believe, bier, brief, hygiene, grief, thief, friend, grieve, chief, fiend, patience, pierce, priest
- ceiling, conceive, deceive, perceive, receipt, receive, deceit, conceit
But then things get complicated: it doesn’t work with words pronounced “ay” as in neighbor, freight, beige, sleigh, weight, vein, and weigh and there are many exceptions to the rule: either, neither, feint, foreign, forfeit, height, leisure, weird, seize, and seizure.
Still, the rule is relatively simple and worth remembering.
Rule #2: “Dropping Final Y”
When adding an ending to a word that ends with y, change the y to i when it is preceded by a consonant.
- supply becomes supplies
- worry becomes worried
- merry becomes merrier
This does not apply to the ending -ing, however.
- crying
- studying
Nor does it apply when the final y is preceded by a vowel.
- obeyed
- saying
