What ars some words at you drop the y and add ied?

Here are some words where you drop the "y" and add "ied" to form the past tense:

* cry -> cried

* try -> tried

* carry -> carried

* study -> studied

* hurry -> hurried

* worry -> worried

* reply -> replied

* empty -> emptied

* marry -> married

* deny -> denied

Important Note: This rule only applies when the "y" is preceded by a consonant. If the "y" is preceded by a vowel, you just add "d" to form the past tense (e.g., "play" -> "played").
