Have you ever noticed some ie and ei words don’t follow the i before e except after c rule? English can be tricky this way, with some words breaking the rule entirely. This list includes examples like ancient, efficient, and weird, all of which don’t follow the usual pattern but are still common words in everyday use.
Learning rulebreakers is an important for improving your spelling. Why not try a spelling game to help you study? It’s a fun way to test your skills and reinforce your memory of these tricky words.
