Answer:
There's no such thing as a 100 percent accurate rule. Every rule comes with many exceptions, because English is constantly changing and adopting new words with new rules of their own. That said, there are plenty of consistently reliable rules of thumb that make English spelling easier. They don't work every time, but they absolutely work often enough that every English writer should know them.
The letter Q is almost always followed by U, as in words like "queen," "earthquake," and "equity." When used in this way, the U is not considered to be a vowel. There are exceptions to this rule, but they're few and far between.
The letter S never follows X. The letter C often takes its place to achieve the desired sound, as in excise and excite.
In most words with a short vowel sound, only one vowel is needed. Examples of this rule include "at," "it," "hot," "red" and "up."
When adding a suffix, you usually need to drop the final E, especially in American English. Many words end with a silent final E, and when adding an ending that starts with a vowel, you should always remove it. In this way, "come" becomes "coming," "hope" becomes "hoping," "race" becomes "racing" and "squeeze" becomes "squeezing."
The word "all," written alone, has two L's. When used as a prefix, however, only one L is written. Examples of this rule include "almost," "also," "altogether" and "always."
Generally, adding a prefix to a word does not change the correct spelling. So adding de- to "activate" results in "deactivate," and adding non- to "fiction" becomes "nonfiction."
Words ending in a vowel and Y can add the suffix -ed or -ing without making any other change. "Jockeying," "journeying," "paying" and "toying" are all examples of this rule.
