In “The baby has been crying for almost an hour. The minute we brought in the new puppy, our mother began laying down sheets of newspaper. We should spend some time tidying before the guests arrive.”, there are words (formed by suffixation) that obey the following spelling rule:

If the word ends with CVC (consonant + vowel + consonant) we always add an extra consonant before adding the necessary suffix.

When you add a suffix that starts with “e” (such as -ed, -er, or -est) to a word that ends in “y”, the “y” usually changes to an “i”.

The “y” doesn’t change for the suffix “-ing”.

If the word in question has two consonants before the “y”, change the “y” to “i" before adding the suffix “-ly”.
