What I Need to Know

Objective: Revise for clarity – Correct Spelling

EN5WC-1e-1.8.2

What’s New
Spelling is easier for some people than it is for others, but everyone needs to make an effort
to spell correctly. Misspellings are distracting for the reader, and they make writing hard to
read. During the revision stage of writing process, writers may add, remove, move and
substitute text (ARMS treatment). So let us discuss first some common spelling errors and
rules in spelling.
 Some common spelling errors:
their (possessive form of they)
there (in that place)
they’re (contraction of they are)
accept (a verb, meaning to receive or to admit to a group)
except (usually a preposition, meaning but or only)
who’s (contraction of who is or who has)
whose (possessive form of who)
1
 your (possessive form of you)
you’re (contraction of you are)
affect (usually a verb, meaning to influence)
effect (usually a noun, meaning result)
than (used in comparison)
then (refers to a time in the past)
were (form of the verb to be)
we’re (contraction of we are)
where (related to location or place)

 Some Rules in Spelling

1. I before e except after c, and when sounded like a (usually).
Examples: We usually spell things ie and not ei.
correct: believe misspelled: beleive
correct: friend misspelled: freind
Exceptions:
a. When coming after letter “c”, then it is usually spelled ei:
correct: receive misspelled: recieve
correct: ceiling misspelled: cieling
b. When sounding like “a”:
correct: neighbor misspelled: nieghbor
correct: weigh misspelled: wiegh
 These rule does not apply when e and i appear in different syllable.
Examples: be-ing, re-imburse, scie-nce, soci-ety
2. When to double the final consonant
 When you have a word that ends with a consonant + vowel + consonant,
the final consonant can be doubled in some words, but not in others:
 The final consonant is doubled if the stress falls on the final
syllable.
Examples: trans ´mit - transmitted
for ´get - forgetting

 It is not doubled if the stress does not fall on the final syllable.
Examples : ´offer - offer
´pedal - pedaling

 Short, one-syllable words always double the final.

Examples : stop – stopped
get – getting
bus - busses

 We do not double the final consonant for words with patterns like
vowel+vowel+consonant.
Examples: repair – repared
clean – cleaning

 We do not double the final consonants for words ending in

consonant+consonant.
Examples: h elp – helped\
print – printing

3. When to use –us and –ous

 The –us ending is used for nouns
Examples: genius, focus, virus

 The –ous ending is used for adjectives

Examples: generous, religious, humorous

2
  Here are some strategies you can use to improve your spelling:
1. Use a dictionary.
2. Proofread your writing carefully.
3. Be sure you are pronouncing words correctly.
4. Keep a spelling journal.

What’s New
Imagine Cagayan de Oro City without any traffic light or stop sign. There would be total confusion
among drivers, it is also the same in writing without end marks, commas or other punctuations.
Correct punctuation is necessary for clear communication. Read the selection below and observe the
punctuation marks used.

How the Sun Works

The sun is a giant ball of burning, glowing gases. It is 333 400 times the mass of the
Earth and 109 times its diameter. The sun shines because of the incredible amount of energy
produced by a nuclear reaction called nuclear fusion. This reaction occurs in the center of the
sun, also called the core. Nuclear fusion works by taking the nucleuses of atoms - in this case,
hydrogen atoms - and forcing them together, creating a new element - in this case, helium.
Nuclear fusion creates immense amounts of energy which is radiated in the form of
electromagnetic radiation, which includes infrared radiation, visible light, x-rays and gamma.

to another
