📚 Rules to Remember • Week 19
Rule 1 • Consonant-le Syllable Division
When a word ends in a consonant followed by -le, count back 3 letters from the end and divide (cir•cle, sin•gle, mid•dle, peo•ple, trou•ble, ter•ri•ble).
Rule 2 • Protect Short Vowels with Double Consonants
Double the middle consonant to keep the first syllable closed and protect its short vowel sound (mid•dle, ter•ri•ble).
Rule 3 • The <-ise> Exceptions to <-ize>
While /īz/ is usually spelled -ize, key exceptions are spelled with -ise: sur•prise, sur•prised, prom•ise (also exercise, advertise).
Rule 4 • Homophone Distinctions: <mail> vs. <male>
Use mail (spelled ai) for postal delivery letters; use male (spelled with split vowel-e a_e) for masculine gender.
