Why in the Word conveyed is final y not changed to i before adding suffix?

You're right to be curious about the spelling of "conveyed"! The word "convey" does indeed end in a "y," and generally, we change "y" to "i" before adding a suffix like "-ed" or "-ing."

However, there's a rule that governs this change:

The "y" changes to "i" only if it is preceded by a consonant.

In "convey," the "y" is preceded by the vowel "e." Therefore, the "y" remains unchanged when adding the suffix "-ed."

Here's a simple way to remember:

* Consonant + y + suffix = Change y to i (e.g., "carry" + "-ed" = "carried")

* Vowel + y + suffix = Keep the y (e.g., "convey" + "-ed" = "conveyed")
