Spelling Rules and Irregular Verbs

The second page focuses on spelling variations for regular verbs and presents common irregular verbs in English.

Definition: Regular verbs follow predictable patterns when forming the past tense, while irregular verbs have unique past forms.

Example: For verbs ending in 'y': play → played (after vowel), cry → cried (after consonant)

Highlight: Common irregular verbs like 'go-went', 'have-had', and 'see-saw' must be memorized as they don't follow standard patterns.

Vocabulary: Spelling variations include:

• Adding -ed after vowel + y
• Changing y to i and adding -ed after consonant + y
• Adding -d after final e
• Doubling final consonant before adding -ed
