ABSTRACT
Although, as we have seen, English is a very complicated language, there are a few rules which are worth helping children to learn. However, almost every rule has exceptions, so beware! Remember:
• The letter q is always followed by a letter u. • The letter v never comes at the end of a word (tell the children it is worried about
toppling over on its wobbly point, and likes to have a friendly letter nearby to catch it). This is why words like love, have and give have a letter e at the end.
