Rule 4 - if the word ends in a consonant followed by a 'y', then you change the 'y' into an 'i',eg. cry - crier. The exception to this rule is to avoid double 'i', when adding the suffix 'ing', keep using the 'y', so 'cry' becomes 'crying'.

Types of fiction include plays, stories and poems. There are many different types of non-fiction writing, such as newspapers, adverts, brochures, reference books and biographies.
