Our teacher used to say to us "i before e except after c, with a few exceptions. " In other words that is the general rule but there are some words that you just have to learn because they are an exception.
for example - believe, achieve, relieve, reprieve
- receive, deceive, deceitful, receipt - these follow the rule and all have the ee sound whether ei or ie.
However - feint (faint) foreign (e not pronounced) feisty (as in fight) forfeit (forfit) eight (ate) and deity (day ity) all do not follow the rule - you will note that their pronunciations in the brackets are not the long 'ee' sound of those that do follow the rule.

When adding the suffex ing to the word glide drop the?
When adding the suffix "-ing" to the word "glide," you would drop the final "e" in "glide" before adding the suffix. This is because when adding a vowel suffix like "-ing" to a word ending in a silent "e," the "e" is typically dropped to maintain the original pronunciation of the word. Therefore, "glide" becomes "gliding" after dropping the final "e" before adding the suffix.
