Important Spelling Rules for Everyone to Know
Spelling rules can take the mystery out of spelling by demonstrating patterns among apparently unrelated words. Learning these rules will help you see connections between unfamiliar words as well as words you already know. Of course, there’s no such thing as a hard-and-fast spelling rule. There are many exceptions as English borrows from many languages and is constantly changing and adopting new words. Still, it’s important to master these basic spelling rules. They might not work every time, but they’ll apply often enough to help you succeed.

This rule is good for new learners.
