The spelling of words like "conceive" and "believe" may vary due to the historical development of the English language and the languages from which English words are derived. In this case, "conceive" follows the common "ei" pattern while "believe" follows the less common "ie" pattern. English spelling can be irregular, and it's important to learn specific words as they are spelled rather than applying general rules.

How do you correctly spell Recieve?
Just to add, FYI, the general rule for helping remember if a word should be spelled with "ie" or "ei" is: "I" before "E" except after "C". In other words, "receive" is spelled with a "c", so the "c" requires that you use the "ei" spelling after it. A word such as "believe" has an "l", not a "c", so it needs the "ie" spelling.
