ِThe rule (even with lots of exceptions !) applies to the -ie- or -ei- combined not to the e or i or any other separate letters...
Sometimes it is difficult to remember whether a word is spelled with -ie- or -ei-. There is a very simple rule about this:
I before E
except after C
or when sounding like AY
as in neighbour and weigh
Rule Examples
I before E achieve, believe, brief, chief, friend, grief, hygiene, patience, pierce, priest, thief
except after C ceiling, conceit, conceive, deceit, deceive, perceive, receipt, receive
or when sounding like AY beige, feint, freight, inveigle, neighbour, sleigh, vein, weigh, weight
Here are some common exceptions to the above rule:
* either, neither, caffeine, codeine, counterfeit, foreign, forfeit, height, leisure, protein, their, weird, seize, seizure
Read , read and read !! reading is the only way to master this as u do right now.. ciao
