3 We can make the l-Before-E Rule even more useful if we add something about spelling long <math><i></math> to it. Underline the letters that spell long <math><i></math> in the following words. Again, don't underline any silent <gh> after long <math><i></math> ::

eiderdown height feisty poltergeist
kaleidoscope untie seismic either
magpie neither sleight underlie

4 Sort the words into these two groups:

'''Words in which the <math></math> is. ..'''
'''at the beginning of the word''' '''in the middle of the word''' '''at the end of the word'''

5 Among these words, is <math></math> at the end of the word spelled <ei> or <ie>? _________

At the beginning or in the middle of words <math></math> is spelled_________.

6 In the previous lesson you saw that the <ie> spelling of long <math><e></math> often occurs when a stem that ends in <math><y></math> has a suffix added to it that starts with <math><e></math> : ''gallery+es = galler]+i+es = galleries''. The <ie> spelling of long <math><i></math> sometimes occurs in the same way: ''sky+es = sk]+i+es = skies'', with <math></math> spelled <ie>. Combine the following stems and suffixes and underline the letters that spell<math> </math> :

'''Free Stem+Suffix''' = '''Analysis''' '''Word'''

sky+es = ''sk]+i+es'' = ''sk<u>ie</u>s''
ally+es = =
dignify+ed = =
satisfy + ed = =
modify + es = =
terrify + ed = =
multiply + ed = =
testify + es = =
qualify+ed = =

'''Free Stem+Suffix''' = '''Analysis'''

'''Word'''
dry+es

7 Notice that this <ie> spelling of long <math><i></math> also comes at the end of the free stem, just as it does in words like ''untie'' and ''magpie''. So now our l-Before-E Rule can tell us the following things:

a.When we're spelling long <math><e></math> , it's <math><i></math> before <math><e></math> except after <math><c></math> .

b.When we're spelling long <a> it's <math><e></math> before <math><i></math> .
→
c.When we're spelling long <math><i></math> , it's <math><i></math> before <math><e></math> at the end of free stems, but
it's <math><e></math> before <math><i></math> everyplace else.
