4. Rules
Use –ant and –ance/–ancy if there is a related word with a /æ/ or /eɪ/ sound in the right position; –ation endings are often a clue.
-ent, -ence and –ency are normally used when the letter before is either a soft c (decent), soft g (regent) or qu (frequent).
As with any other rules, there are always exceptions which just need to be learnt. Try emphasising the e or a when reading the words to help you recall the correct spelling.
