How to Spell Achievement

Tricky part: The middle has ie, not ei. The e at the end of achieve stays when ment is added, so do not write achievment.

Watch out for: acheivement, achievment, acheevement

Memory tip: The chief has an achievement: both words have ie straight after ch (CHIEf, aCHIEvement).

Example 2: Climbing to the top of the hill felt like an achievement.
