Who knows the spelling rules of English words? China's writing is pictographic. What about English? Is it too?
Tracing back to the roots of English, English is a branch of Latin writing. Latin languages include French, Italian, English and so on. Latin coins are pictographic. When the basic vocabulary appeared, English used Latin and other Latin branches, made some changes and even used it directly, such as fifth, which is French.
In addition, parts of other words are used as root affixes, which are similar to Chinese radicals. But English root affixes are extremely abstract, so you can study them if you are interested.
Later, many foreign words appeared in America. Because America is an immigrant country, many words come from foreign countries. For example, Kung Fu, pasta and so on.
Just now I said that English is hieroglyphics, partly because words are derived from hieroglyphics. For example, the word eyes, you don't think it is the same as eyes (I'm absolutely not talking nonsense! ! ! ! Really)
