Spelling
Rules that we know so far for plurals:
Most words just add s
Words ending in x, ch, sh, s and z add es
Words ending in consonant + y, change the y to i and add es
Words ending in vowel + y just add s
Words ending in f or fe, change the f or fe to v and add es
Words ending in consonant + o usually add es
Words ending in a vowel + o add s

There are many exceptions to the rules. You need to learn them!

Adding suffixes:
If a word ends in consonant + vowel + consonant double the final consonant before adding ed or ing
If a word ends in a silent e, drop the e before adding ed or ing
If a word ends in a silent e, do NOT drop the e before adding a suffix that starts with a consonant e.g. less or ful

Which is the correct spelling?
