    Well done Anonymous! A good try...
    You got Q 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 correct :)

    Let's look at 1, 2, 3, and 6 again...

    1) Rule: If a word ends in 'y' you drop the 'y' and add 'ies' so baby becomes BABIES
    2 and 3) Words ending with 'fe' change to 'ves.' So knife = KNIVES and wife = WIVES.
    6) You got the correct ending, just an incorrect spelling. It should be WELLIES!

    Overall, a great challenge! Look out for our next one on Friday...it's a tough one this week.

    :)
