Step2: Teacher asks students to read their answers and correct them. At the same time, teacher should stress the rules mentioned before.
*“play” should be stressed because it is easier for students to make mistakes. The “a” before the “y” is not a consonant, so we should not turn the “y” into “i” and then add ed.
