📚 Quick Review: Spelling Tip #1

-TION vs -SION Rule

Use -TION when:

  • The word comes from a root ending in T or TE
    (complete → completion)
  • You can hear a "shun" sound
    (nation, station, motion)

Use -SION when:

  • The root ends in D, DE, or S
    (decide → decision, extend → extension)
  • You hear a "zhun" sound
    (vision, television, conclusion)

📚 Quick Review: Spelling Tip #2

I Before E (Except After C)

The classic rule:

  • I before E: believe, piece, field, chief
  • Except after C: receive, ceiling, deceive, receipt
  • When sounding like "ay": neighbor, weigh, eight, freight

⚠️ Watch out for exceptions:

  • Weird words: weird, seize, either, neither, height

📚 Quick Review: Spelling Tip #3

Double Consonant Rule

When adding -ED, -ING, or -ER to a word:

  • Double the consonant if the word has ONE syllable, ends in ONE vowel + ONE consonant
    (run → running, big → bigger, stop → stopped)
  • Double the consonant if the word has TWO syllables and the stress is on the SECOND syllable
    (begin → beginning, occur → occurred)
  • Don't double if the stress is on the first syllable
    (listen → listening, open → opened)
