What spelling rules are there for words with hard c and g sounds in them?
One common spelling rule for words with a hard "c" sound is that it is usually followed by the vowels "a," "o," or "u" (e.g. cat, cot, cup). For words with a hard "g" sound, it is often followed by the vowels "a," "o," or "u" as well (e.g. gap, got, gum).
