12 Essential English Spelling Rules To Help English Learners Write With Ease
by Olly Richards
In some languages, spelling is simple and regular, and creates no confusion.
This is not the case in English.
Yes, there are English spelling rules. But many English words donโt obey these rules and the same sounds may be represented differently on the page.
For example, the word โeightโ rhymes with โwaitโ.
Weird, isnโt it?
It might seem illogical to you and you might find yourself scratching your head when writing words and sentences in English.
But this blog post will help you make more sense of English spelling.
Youโll learn why English spelling is irregular, English spelling rules and exceptions, and differences in spelling between American and British English.
This is a complete English spelling guide that you can keep coming back to at any time.
So, are you ready? Letโs go!
Why English Spelling Is Irregular
You might see English spelling as an enemy that wants to confuse you and slow you down every time you write.
But if you understand why English spelling is the way it is, youโll start getting along with it more and, hopefully, find it less complicated.
And to understand the nature of English spelling, we need to know its story.
Whatโs the story of English spelling rules?
Hereโs a little bit of history of English for you that can help you turn English spelling into a friend.
In the past, Britain was invaded several times by different populations.
First the Romans came. Then Germanic peoples, then the Vikings, the Normans, the French, and the Dutch.
This was not just an invasion of people.
It was a language invasion too!
Each of these populations brought their own language with them, so English was influenced by many languages throughout its history.
The Romans brought Latin. Thatโs why many English words โ like โalienโ โ come from Latin. The Vikings brought Norse words โ like โcakeโ and โuglyโ.
Other words such as โromanceโ and โcastlesโ come from French, the language spoken by invaders from Normandy.
And guess what? Each of these languages has its own unique spelling patterns and rules.
Some of these rules have merged together to create the complex and sometimes contradictory spelling system that you see today.
Has this short history lesson made you more tolerant of English spelling rules? I hope so.
Letโs now have a look at some of the most common English spelling rules and exceptions.
English Spelling Rules And Exceptions
Hereโs an English spelling guide that includes:
Plurals
Capital letters
Adjective and adverbs ending in -ly
-ise or -ize?
Words ending in -e
Y and I
Doubling final consonants
Tricky sound-spelling relationships
Silent letters
Homophones
American vs British spelling
A famous spelling rule
1. Plurals
Add -s to the end of the noun: This is the most common way of forming plurals, and applies to most nouns.
For example: dog โ dogs, book โ books, table โ tables.
Add -es to the end of the noun in words that end in -ch, -sh, -x, -s, or -z. For example: box โ boxes, church โ churches, bus โ buses.
Change -y to -ies in words that end in a consonant plus -y. The -y changes to -ies. For example: baby โ babies, party โ parties, fly โ flies.
Add -ves to the end of the nouns that end in -f or -fe. The -f or -fe changes to -ves. For example: knife โ knives, leaf โ leaves, wolfe โ wolves
BUT
cliff โ cliffs
chief โ chiefs
roof โ roofs
If a word ends in -o add -s to the end of the word. For example: taco โ tacos, photo โ photos, piano โ pianos.
But add -es to the end of the word if the โoโ is preceded by a vowel (a, e, i, o, u). For example: radio โ radios, portfolio โ portfolios, potato โ potatoes.
Some words have irregular plurals that don't follow any of the above rules. For example: child โ children, mouse โ mice, tooth โ teeth.
2. Capital Letters
Capital letters are used for:
the names of days, months, and public holidays (e.g. Monday, April, Easter, Boxing Day).
the names of people, institutions, places, stars, and planets (e.g. Mary, the United States, Mars, Jupiter, the Pole Star, Cambridge University)
Peopleโs titles (e.g. Mr Sloan, Professor Ferris, Dr Jones, Queen Elizabeth)
Nouns and adjectives for nationalities (e.g. Heโs Italian, Japanese trains, the French).
Titles of books and films (e.g. The Godfather, Pride and Prejudice).
3. Adjectives And Adverbs Ending In -ly
Normally, an adjective becomes an adverb by adding -ly. For example,
late โ lately
real โ really
beautiful โ beautifully
usual โ usually
There are some exceptions:
true โ truly
whole โ wholly
due โ duly
full โ fully
What if the adjective ends in -y?Easy! You change -y to -i.
happy โ happily
easy โ easily
funny โ funnily
When an adjective ends in -ic, you form the adverb by adding -ically.
tragic โ tragically
comic โ comically
logic โ logically
Exception: public โ publicly
4. -Ise Or -Ize?
Is the verb โrealiseโ spelled โrealiseโ or โrealizedโ? Which one is correct?
Both.
The โ-iseโ form is normally used in British English while the โ-izeโ form is often used in American English.
Some examples:
categorise / categorize
organise / organize
baptise / baptize
So, can you write โsurprizeโ too? No, thatโs wrong.
Most words made up of two syllables are spelled with โ-iseโ in both American and British English. Here are some examples:
surprise
revise
despise
exercise
advertise
advise
improvise
5. Words Ending In -E
Verbs
If you need to add -ing, the -e disappears.
hope โ hoping
make โ making
take โ taking
Some exceptions to this rule:
If the word ends in double โe (-ee), you keep them both.
agree โ agreeing
see โ seeing
If a verb ends in -e, add -d to make the past simple form (for regular verbs only โ check out my irregular verbs in English to learn how they are formed).
hope โ hoped
decide โ decided
smile โ smiled
dance โ danced
confuse โ confusing
Adjectives And Adverbs
If an adjective ends in -e, add -r and -st to make the comparative and superlative forms.
wide โ wider โ widest
late โ later โ latest
large โ larger โ largest
If an adjective ends in -e, keep e before -ly when forming the adverb:
polite โ politely
extreme โ extremely
absolute โ absolutely
If an adjective ends in -le, the adverb ending is -ply, -bly.
simple โ simply
terrible โ terribly
possible โ possibly
6. Y And I
Some words in English end in a consonant letter + y (-by / -ry / โ sy / -vy etc.).
In this case:
y changes to ie before the ending -s
baby โ babies
story โ stories
country โ countries
try โ tries
-y changes to i before the ending -ed
hurry โ hurried
study โ studied
try โ tried
apply โ applied
-y changes to i before the ending -er and -est.
easy โ easier โ easiest
heavy โ heavier โ heaviest
lucky โ luckier โ luckiest
If the letter before -y is a vowel, you donโt change -y to -i.
play โ plays โ played
buy โ buys
enjoy โ enjoys โ enjoyed
donkey โ donkeys
BUT
say โ said
pay โ paid
lay โ laid
day โ daily
You donโt change -y to -i if you add -ing
try โ trying
study โ studying
apply โ applying
You change -ie to -y before -ing.
die โ dying
lie โ lying
tie โ tying
7. Doubling Final Consonants
In English you can double the following final letters:
b: rub โ rubbing
n: win winnable
d: sad โ sadder
p: stop โ stopped
g: big โ bigger
r: prefer โ preferred
I: travel โ travelling
t: sit โ sitting
m: slim โ slimming
When a word ends in a consonant followed by a vowel, and the stress is on the final syllable, we double the consonant before adding a suffix that begins with a vowel.
Here are some examples:
run + ing = running
stop + ed = stopped
big + est = biggest
swim + ing = swimming
hot + er = hotter
prefer + ed = preferred
occur + ed = occurred
refer + al = referral
But this rule works only when the final syllable of the word is stressed. If the final syllable is unstressed, the consonant is not doubled:
offer + ing = offering
travel + ed = traveled
limit + ed = limited
English spelling is irregular, remember?
So there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, words that end in x, w, or y usually do not have the final consonant doubled:
mix + ing = mixing
glow + ing = glowing
pay + ment = payment
In British English, when a verb ends in -l, you always double it.
travel โ travelling โ travelled
cancel โ cancelling โ cancelled
But in American spelling, this doesnโt happen, so:
travel โ traveling โ traveled
cancel โ canceling โ canceled
You donโt double the final consonant if the word ends in two consonants (e.g. -rt, -lp, ng, etc.)
start โ starting โ started
help โ helping โ helped
long โ longer โ longest
You donโt double the final consonant if the word ends in two vowels + consonant (e.g. -oil, -eed, etc.)
boil โ boiling โ boiled
need โ needing -needed
explain โ explained โ explaining
8. Tricky Sound-Spelling Relationship: โOughโ
Did you know that more than 10% of English words are not spelled the way they sound?
Even if you didn't, you might have realised this by now.
One combination of letters that often causes confusion is โoughโ as this can be pronounced in several ways.
Letโs have a closer look at this.
Here are some common pronunciations of โoughโ and examples of words that use them:
โOughโ sounds like โawโ as in โthoughtโ:
thought
bought
brought
fought
โuffโ as in โenoughโ:
enough
rough
tough
โoffโ as in โcoughโ:
cough
trough
โohโ as in โalthoughโ:
although
dough
ought
โowโ as in โploughโ:
plough
bough
โoohโ as in โthroughโ
9. Silent Letters
Many English words have silent letters. For example, in the word โlistenโ the โtโ is silent โ you donโt pronounce it.
Here are some other English spelling rules and patterns.
Silent โeโ:
cake
bike
late
kite
cube
bone
fate
flute
When a word ends in a silent โe,โ it often changes the pronunciation of the vowel before it.
For example, the โeโ in โcuteโ is silent, but it changes the pronunciation of the โuโ from โcutโ to โkyoot.โ
Some other examples:
hat โ hate
pet โ Pete
fin โ fine
rob โ robe
cub โ cube
Silent โkโ: The letter โkโ is often silent before the letter โnโ.
Examples:
knife
knight
know
knee
Silent โbโ:
thumb
comb
bomb
Silent โhโ:
hour
honor
heir
Silent โpโ:
psychology
psychiatrist
pneumonia
Silent โwโ: The letter โwโ is often silent at the beginning of certain words.
Examples:
write
wreck
wrist
Silent โgโ: The letter โgโ is often silent at the beginning of certain words
Examples:
gnat
gnome
gnaw
Silent โlโ
Examples:
calm
half
could
Silent โsโ
Examples:
aisle
island
Silent โtโ
Examples:
castle
rustle
listen
whistle
10. Homophones
Homophones are words that have the same pronunciation but different meanings and spellings.
Here are ten examples of homophones:
flower (a plant with petals) and flour (a powder made from grains)
right (correct) and write (to put words on paper)
sea (like the Mediterranean sea) and see (to observe with eyes)
hear (to perceive sound) and here (in this place)
meet (to meet another person) and meat (food)
their (belonging to them) and there (in that place)
break (to separate into pieces) and brake (a device for stopping a vehicle)
peace (the opposite of war) and piece (a portion of something)
pair (a couple) and pear (a type of fruit)
11. American English vs British English Spelling Rules
Here are some common words that are spelled differently in American and British English.
American English
British English
Color
Colour
Center
Centre
Theater
Theatre
Defense
Defence
Honor
Honour
Catalog
Catalogue
Traveling
Travelling
Tire
Tyre
Gray
Grey
Program

12. A Famous English Spelling Rule
English-speaking children learn a rhyme: โi before e, except after cโ.
They learn this to remember that the sound /iห/ (as in believe) is often written ie, but not usually ei expect after ั.
Here are some examples:
chief
field
grief
piece
shield
ceiling
deceive
receive
receipt
There are, as always, exceptions:
seize
Neil
Keith
either
neither
