تعلم قواعد الاملاء- English Spelling Rules

[Mema]

Writing (and therefore spelling) is a representation of the spoken word. The spoken word is not a representation of writing. Because accents and pronunciation can change easily and quite quickly, whereas what is written in books and dictionaries remains "fixed" for years, as well as for various historical reasons, there is often little correspondence between spoken English (pronunciation) and written English (spelling). English spelling therefore often appears to be totally illogical. The following rules can help you to decode the mysteries of English spelling. But remember, even the best rules have their exceptions.


Adding -er/est

We make the comparative or superlative forms of short adjectives by adding -er or -est.

Spelling Rule

Just add -er or -est to the end of the adjective, for example:

quick > quicker > quickest
great > greater > greatest
full > fuller > fullest

Exceptions

Adding -ing/-ed

Often we need to add -ing or -ed to a verb to make other forms of the verb, for example:
I was talking when John arrived.

Spelling Rule

Just add -ing or -ed to the end of the base verb:

work > working > worked
play > playing > played
open > opening > opened


Exceptions




Adding -ly

We often make an adverb by adding -ly to an adjective, for example: quick > quickly.

Spelling Rule

Just add -ly to the end of the adjective:

coy > coyly
loud > loudly
beautiful > beautifully
senseless > senselessly
intelligent > intelligently
