Some Spelling Rules
There is no royal road to spelling. The first thing to do
is to find out exactly what kind of error you make in
spelling. Form the habit of looking carefully and
precisely at these words. Bear in mind the correct
pronunciation of those words. A few simple rules of
spelling are given below:

Rule 1
Words ending in silent e usually drop the silent e
before adding vowel suffix. (eg, -ing, -able, -ary, -ous
etc) as given below:
Drop e

lone
move

+ly
+ment

=lonely
=movement

(b) After c or g, if the suffix begins with a or o, the


e is retained to indicate the soft sound of c or g.
(eg, ous, able). For example,
advantage
change
courage
manage
notice
outrage
peace
service
trace

+ous
+able
+ous
+able
+able
+ous
+able
+able
+able

=advantageous
