Worksheet: Adding suffixes to words ending in yIn the previous
worksheet we learned the following patterns:
* If the word ends in a
vowel +y the base word
doesn't change:
delay + ed = delayed and employ + ment = employment * If the
word ends in a consonant +y,
when you add any suffix except
-ing,
then change the y to i:
reply + ed = replied, busy + ness =
business
pity + ful = pitiful; but
reply + ing = replying
Fill in the gaps in the following chart.
The first row is done for you.
