Answer 1

We can form some adjectives to describe the weather by adding __y__ to the noun. We double the final consonant when the noun ends with a __vowel_ + consonant​

Answer 2

We can form some adjectives to describe the weather by adding -y to the noun. We double the final consonant when the noun ends with a single consonant.

For example, if the noun is "rain," we can form the adjective "rainy" by adding -y at the end. Similarly, if the noun is "wind," we can form the adjective "windy" by adding -y.

However, if the noun already ends with -y, we don't need to double the consonant. For instance, the noun "cloud" becomes the adjective "cloudy" without doubling the consonant.

In summary, when forming weather adjectives by adding -y, we double the final consonant of the noun if it ends with a single consonant, except when the noun already ends with -y.
