Change y to i reading help

There are very clear rules for adding endings to words that end with y.

Step 1: Adding ing is easy, just do it.
Look: hurry  hurrying;   obey  obeying;   fly  flying

Step 2: When adding something other than ing, look to see whether a vowel or a consonant come before y.

Example word: enjoy. 
Letter o comes before y. Is o a vowel or a consonant?  Letter o is a vowel.

Step 3: When a vowel comes before y, it's easy, just add any ending.
Look: enjoys, enjoying, enjoyed, enjoyment, enjoyable

Step 4: When a consonant comes before y: change the y to i then add the ending. And, s always needs to be es.

Example word: candy. Letter d is a consonant, so change y to i for candies, candied
Remember: s always needs to be es.

Example word: cry. Letter r is a consonant, so change y to i for cries, cried, crier, crying no change for adding ing, just do it.
