Helpful Hint Most of the time, the spelling rules ‘i before e except after c’ and ‘i before e when the word sounds like ay’ hold true.

Example: ‘flies’, ‘receipt’ and ‘eight’. There are exceptions to this though, so it is easier to learn which words are the exceptions. The most common of these are: counterfeit, either, foreign, forfeit, height, leisure, neither, protein, seize, their and weird. 44
