The <i/y> Relationship
The letter <i and <y> have a "jobsharing" relationship in English.
We investigated the patterns we could find. Did you know that you avoid leaving a <y> in the middle of a word unless you have a good reason to do so? There are only three good reasons and so far we have found two.
Here are some words that might help you guess. Which ones do you leave the <y> in and which ones don't?
fry + ing, try + ed, happy+ est, try +ing, dry +ed
We played the trading game to develop our familiarity with the vocab.
