picnic- picnicking
is there a rule for words ending in or ( as in professor) or words ending in er (as in commander)? Thank you!
There are no specific rules to be followed for words ending in "ely". Most of the root words ending in E add -ly whereas words ending in Y replace the Y with an I before adding the -ly. Examples: complete => completely icy => icily hungry => hungrily
When applying suffixes to words ending in "y" preceded by a consonant, change the "y" to "i" before adding the suffix, unless the suffix begins with an "i." For example, "happy" becomes "happiness" (changing "y" to "i" before adding "ness").
When adding "-ing" to a word ending in a consonant-vowel pattern, drop the vowel before adding "-ing". Most of these words will end in "e". Wrong: skateing Right: skating Wrong: takeing Right: taking Wrong: relateing Right: relating
When adding a suffix to a word that ends in -y preceded by a consonant, change the -y to -i before adding the suffix. For example, happy becomes happily, ready becomes readily.

Swaraj -- self-governance or "home-rule".
Most nouns ending in -o are pluralized by simply adding -s, except:Some nouns ending in the letter -oare pluralized by adding -es. These words must be memorized, because there is no simple rule to explain the differences.echo, echoeshero, heroespotato, potatoestorpedo, torpedoesveto, vetoes
One exception to the silent e rule is when adding endings like -ed or -ing to words ending in a consonant and a silent e (e.g., write to writing). Another exception is with words where the final silent e is dropped before a suffix that starts with a vowel (e.g., change to changing).
The rule for adding "es" to words ending in s, x, sh, ch, and z is to add "es" to form the plural form of the word. For example, bus becomes buses, box becomes boxes, dish becomes dishes, church becomes churches, and quiz becomes quizzes.
what is the rule in adding rational numbers
The word "snagged" follows the rule of doubling the final consonant when adding the -ed ending to a word that ends in a single vowel followed by a consonant.
