When the letter before y is a vowel what happens to when suffix added?

When the letter before "y" is a vowel, the "y" stays the same when a suffix is added.

Here's why:

* The "y" is already acting as a vowel sound. Words like "boy" and "play" have the "y" making a vowel sound.

* Suffixes are typically added to the base form of a word. If we add a suffix to "boy," we get "boyish," not "boyish." The "y" remains unchanged to preserve the vowel sound.

Here are some examples:

* Boy + ish = Boyish

* Play + ed = Played

* Stay + ing = Staying

* Day + s = Days
