Verbs that end in a vowel + y do not change the y to i and then add - es, however: buy / buys; employs / employs; enjoy / enjoys; flay / flays; lay / lays; pay / pays; play / plays; say / says; slay / slays; spray / sprays; stay / stays; sway / sways; Important: Compare flay / flays, play / plays, and pray / prays with fly / flies, ply / plies, and pry / pries to see how these spelling rules work for verbs ending in s. read less
