Write an original sentence containing a correctly spelled word that follows the “i" before “e" except after “c" rule. Write another sentence containing a correctly spelled word that does not follow this rule.

Falconmaster:

My friend and I had a freice fight about foreign materials. I deicide to drink caffeine today.

Falconmaster:

my teacher said dis was wrong ;-; plz halp

YoursTruly:

No, let's try again.

YoursTruly:

"I before e, except after c" Example of i before e: I received a letter from my great-aunt Cindy. A word that does not follow the i before e rule: I went over to visit my neighbor to discuss her cat wandering into my yard. Now you try.

Falconmaster:

I enjoy video games?

YoursTruly:

No, Kyle. i before e except after c. Key phrase: except after c Neighbor does not have a c, but the e is still before the i.

Falconmaster:

;-; i dont get it

Falconmaster:

THE I IS BEFORE E ;-;

Falconmaster:

this is not fair

YoursTruly:

Let's try this. i before e if there is a c Neighbor would be nieghbor if it followed that rule, correct?

Falconmaster:

YoursTruly:

But it is spelled neighbor so it breaks that rule but is still spelled correctly.

Falconmaster:

Falconmaster:

and equation

YoursTruly:

No, the i and the e have to be next to each other.

YoursTruly:

I'll give you the answer to part B of your question. "My cat weighs a ton!" Now you just have to write a sentence that follows the rule. Remember, i and e have to be next to each other and there has to be a c before them.

Falconmaster:

YoursTruly:

The word has to have a c in it.

Falconmaster:
