You keep the final E when adding suffixes that begin with consonants. When do you omit the E? It depends on the suffix. On the other hand, the noun love loses its final E to become the adjective lovable. When the noun fate becomes the adjective fateful, you add -ful to the end without dropping the E. That’s not the case in Arabic and other languages, so borrowed words like Qatar, the name of a country along the Persian Gulf, don’t follow the English pattern. Have you noticed that Q seems to have a constant vowel companion? In English, the letter Q is always followed by U. With rare exceptions, you also can’t double the letters K, J, W, or X. What about skivvies, a word used to refer to cotton undergarments, and divvy, a verb meaning to distribute or share? Dictionaries categorize them both as informal words. There’s another thing V doesn’t do-double. If there is a V sound, the word will end in E. If you do see a word that ends in V, you can assume that it’s an abbreviation, acronym, or foreign word. If there is a consonant before the Y, replace the y with ies.
How do you know when to change Y to ies? Look at the letter before the Y to find out.
For example, babies is the plural form of baby. However, you might have noticed that some words that end in Y deviate from the norm.
