Our spelling pattern this week is adding the suffix -es/-s to.
Here is a little rule that can help you with those tricky words ending in -y.
If the words ending in y have a consonant before the y, then it needs to be changed to an i and then add –es. If the words ending in y have a vowel (a,e,i,o,u) before the y, then you just add -s.
Here are some example words:
churches
beaches
lollies
catches
flies
benches
parties
emergencies
rushes
trolleys
cries
tries
buzzes
foxes
lorries
