Usually the y is dropped but there are instances when you do not drop the y such as when there is a vowel before the y.
See the samples below:
When the letter before the y is a vowel and a suffix is added, the y usually remains unchanged. For example, in the word "play", when adding the suffix -ing to make "playing", the y remains as is.
The suffix "pre-" means before. It is typically added to words to indicate that something comes before the main word or concept.
When a suffix is added to a word from the first group, the "er" can sometimes change to an "or" depending on the word and the rules of spelling. For example, "sing" becomes "singer" and "run" becomes "runner."
