1. "Sweets" as a general term for sweet treats:
* In this case, "desserts" is not part of the word "sweets". It's a separate word, and the spelling remains "desserts".
* Example: "We had a selection of sweets, including cakes, cookies, and desserts."
2. "Sweets" as a specific type of dessert:
* If "sweets" refers to a particular type of dessert (like candies, chocolates, etc.), then the spelling might change depending on the specific type. For example:
* Sweets (general): "I love all sorts of sweets, especially chocolates."
* Sweets (candies): "They sell delicious sweets at that shop."
* Sweets (confectionery): "This bakery specializes in making sweets."
Therefore, there's no single definitive spelling of "desserts" in "sweets". It depends on what you're referring to.
