  • Correct spelling creates a good impression.
  • Troublesome words need special attention.

  • Look for smaller words inside longer words.

  • Use i before e when the sound is ee, except after c.
  • The rule applies specifically to ei or ie pronounced as ee.

q can be followed by any vowel in English spelling.

When adding a prefix, letters may be dropped or added to make the word look better.
