Some useful spelling rules – Part I
==========================
🟣 Rule 1

🌼When a weak verb ends in a short vowel + consonant, the final consonant is not doubled to form the past tense, unless the accent falls on the last syllable.
🔹Budget – budgeted (NOT budgetted)
🔹Offer – offered (NOT offerred)
🔹Benefit – benefited (NOT benefitted)

🔎 Notes
Worship is an exception to this rule. Its past tense is formed by doubling the final consonant.
🔹Worship – worshipped (NOT worshiped)

🌼If the accent falls on the last syllable, the consonant is doubled even if the word ends in a short vowel + consonant.
So we have
🔹Occur – occurred (NOT Occured)
🔹Transfer – transferred (NOT transfered)
🔹Begin – beginning (NOT begining)

🌼If the final consonant is ‘l’, it is always doubled.
🔹Travel – travelled
🔹Level – levelled
🔸Parallel is an exception to this rule. Its past tense is paralleled (NOT parallelled). Nowadays traveled is also considered correct.
-------------------------------------
🔵 Rule 2

🌼Short monosyllables always double their final consonant.
🔹Shop – shopping
🔹Let – letting

🌼‘ie’ and ‘ei’
The general rule is ‘i’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’.
Examples are: siege, believe, friend
But receive, deceive, ceiling etc.

🌼There are several exceptions to this rule.
Reign, neighbor, heir, seize, leisure, weird

🌼Dis and mis
Never double the ‘s’ of these prefixes. When a second ‘s’ occurs it is the first letter of the next syllable.
Examples are: dismiss (not dissmiss), misplace (not missplace)
🔹dissent (dis-sent), misspell (mis-spell)

🌼‘us’ and ‘ous’
Nouns end in ‘us’. Adjectives end in ‘ous‘. So we have:
🔹Census, genius (nouns)
🔸Jealous, tremendous,

Preposition collocations with nouns and verbs
=====================
*️⃣Prepositions cause a great deal of confusion. Most ESL students find it difficult to use them correctly.

*️⃣One way of learning the correct use of prepositions is to look at several examples illustrating usage. In English, there are a large number of collocations. These are words which are often used together with other words.

🔎 Examples of collocation are given below.

🌸Comment
🔸The word comment takes the preposition ‘on’.
🔹He commented on her lovely hair. (NOT He commented about her lovely hair.)

🌸Reason
🔸The word reason collocates with the preposition for.
🔹What is the reason for her unhappiness? (NOT What is the reason of her unhappiness?)

🌸Discuss
🔸The verb discuss does not take a preposition.
🔹Let us discuss your problem. (NOT Let us discuss about your problem.)

🌸Consider
🔸The verb consider does not take any preposition.
🔹You should consider every aspect of the situation. (NOT You should consider about every aspect of the situation.)

🌸 Participate
🔸Incorrect: They were asked to participate the group discussion.
🔹Correct: They were asked to participate in the group discussion.
◾️The word participate collocates with the preposition ‘in’.

🌸Adapt
🔸Incorrect: One must be able to adapt changing circumstances.
🔹Correct: One must be able to adapt to changing circumstances.
◾️The verb adapt takes the preposition ‘to’.

🌸Dissatisfaction
