Spelling Safari   Add Suffixes to Words Ending in Y

Rule 1: *When "y" is the last letter in a word and the "y" is preceded by a consonant, change the "y" to "i" before adding any suffix except those beginning with "i":

beauty --> beautiful
fry --> fries
hurry --> hurried
lady --> ladies

Rule 2: When forming the plural of a word which ends with a "y" that is preceded by a vowel, add "s":

toy --> toys
play --> plays
monkey --> monkeys
