Dear Readers, Here we have given the List of 10 Golden Rules on Spelling Correction in English Grammar. Kindly make use of it.
Rule 1:  When the suffix “full” is added to a word, one “ I” is removed.
Eg:
·       Use + full= useful

Eg:
·       Will + full= wilful
·       Skill +full = skilful
Rule 3:  Words of two or three syllables ending in single vowel + single consonant double the final consonant if the last syllable is stressed.
Eg:
·       Permit + ed = permitted
·       Control + ed =controlled
·       Occur + ing =occurring
·       Begin + ing = beginning
Rule 4:  Consonant ‘I’ is doubled in the words ending in single vowel + “I” before a suffix beginning with a vowel

·       Quarrel + ed = quarrelled
·       Travel + er = traveller
·       Signal + ing = signalling
