IE

Here is a weird one. Sometimes IE sounds like the letter

name E:

field shield thief belief

believe relieve Debbie Katie
You can also see it in some plural words. When a y comes
after a vowel we just add an s, like in day we write days
and for key we write keys. But if the y doesn’t come after a
vowel, if it comes after a consonant, we write it like this:

party parties daisy daisies

baby babies puppy puppies
The thief stole the daisies for the parties.
The puppies are playing in the field.
I believe a nap will relieve the babies.
He hung the shield up in the lobby for
the tourists to see.
