Drop The Y
Grammar - English Language
The "Drop the Y" (or "Change Y to I") rule applies when a base word ends in a consonant + y (e.g., study, happy), requiring the 'y' to change to 'i' before adding suffixes like -es, -ed, or -er. It applies to consonant suffixes, but generally not if the suffix starts with 'i' (e.g., study + ing = studying). [1, 2, 3]
