英语学习最大的挑战之一就是单词词汇量，在你的A-level英语写作中如果出现多个拼写错误会使你得到更低的分数，本文我们讲分享六条单词拼写规则，帮助你减少错误拼写的几率。
1. Word ending with a silent ‘e’ usually drop the ‘e’ before a suffix beginning with a vowel. 以无声的'e'结尾的单词通常在以元音开头的后缀前去掉'e'
e.g.
Survive + -al = Survival
Abuse + -ive = Abusive
例外情况:
· Retain the ‘e’ if it is possible for the word to be confused with another 如果该词有可能与另一个词相混淆，则保留"e”
e.g.
Dye + -ing = Dyeing
· Words containing ‘g’ or ‘c’ before the ‘e’ retain the ‘e’在"e"前含有g"或"c"的词保留"e"。
e.g.
Courage + -ous = Courageous
· Words ending in ‘ie’ change the ‘i’ to a ‘y’ 以"ie"结尾的单词将“"改为“y”。
e.g.
Die + -ing = Dying
2. Word with a silent ‘e’ retain the ‘e’ before a suffix beginning with a consonant. 带有无声'e'的单词在以辅音开头的后缀前保留e
e.g.
Arrange + -ment = Arrangement
Forgive + -ness = Forgiveness
例外情况:
Judge/judgment, argue/argument, whole/wholly, awe/awful
3. Words with one syllable, ending in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel, double the final consonants before a suffix beginning with a vowel. 单个音节的词，以单个元音前的单个辅音结尾，在以元音开头的后缀前的最后辅音加倍
e.g.
Run + -ing = Running
例外情况:
If the word ends in two or more consonants, or if the final consonant is preceded by two vowels, the rule does not apply 如果该词以两个或多个辅音结尾，或者最后一个辅音前面有两个元音，则该规则不适用
e.g.
Debt + -or = Debtor
4. In words of two or more syllables that are accented on the final syllable and end in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel, double the final consonant before a suffix beginning with a vowel. 在两个或多个音节的单词中，如果最后一个音节是重音，并且最后是一个辅音，前面是一个元音，那么在以元音开头的后缀前，最后的辅音要加倍。
e.g.
Refer + -ing = Referring
Rgret + -able = Regrettable
例外情况:
If the accent is not on the last syllable, the final consonant is not doubled 如果重音不在最后一个音节上，最后的辅音就不会被加倍
e.g.
Benefit + -ed = Benefited
If the word ends in two consonants, if the final consonant is preceded by two vowels or if the accent shifts to the first syllable when the suffix is added, the rule does not apply 如果该词以两个辅音结尾，如果最后一个辅音前面有两个元音，或者如果在添加后缀时重音转移到第一个音节，则该规则不适用
e.g.
Perform + -ance = Performance (two consonants)
Repeat + -ing = Repeating (two vowels)
5. Use ‘i’ before ‘e’ except when the two letters follow ‘c’ and have a long ‘e’ sound, or when two vowels are pronounced with a long ‘a’. 在'e'前使用'i'，除非这两个字母在'c'后面，并且有一个长的'e'音，或者两个元音的发音是长的'a'。
e.g.
Conceit (long ‘e’ after ‘c’)
Vein (two vowels with long ‘a’ sound)
Shield (other letters)
6. Words ending in ‘y’ preceded by a consonant usually change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ before any suffix except one beginning with ‘i’ 以 "y "结尾的单词，前面有一个辅音，通常在任何后缀之前都会将 "y "改为 "i"，以 "i "开头的单词除外。
e.g.
Beauty -> Beautiful
Lady -> Ladies
例外情况:
If the final y is preceded by a vowel, the rule does not apply 如果最后的y前面是元音，则该规则不适用
e.g.
