lol thats the only one I remember
-
When two vowels walk together the first one says its name.
-
I believe the complete rule is: i before e except after c or when sounding like "A" as in neighbor and weigh. And except seize and seizure And also leisure Weird, height, and either Forfeit and neither.
-
The spelling of a word does not change when you add a prefix to it even when the first letter of the word and the last letter of the prefix are the same. Example: un + necessary = unnecessary
-
When -ing comes to stay, little e runs away.
-
If a word is singular, add 's to make it a possessive--no matter what the final letter of the word.
-
There are only three verbs in English that end in -ceed: succeed, proceed, and exceed. All the other verbs with that sound end in -cede. There's only one English verb that ends in -sede: supersede.
-
The sound "full" at the end of a word is spelled with only one l. For example: careful graceful healthful hopeful The word "Full" itself is the only exception.
-
In a one syllable word that ends with an “e” the vowel before it says its name like Code. Drone. Rake. (though i'm sure not always)
