Spell Bee Word: My

What does my mean?

Word: My

Part of Speech: Determiner

Meaning: My means belonging to me, as in my bag or my mother.

How do you spell my?

Syllables: my

Tricky part: There is no i in my, even though you hear the i sound. The y does that job.

Watch out for: migh, miy

Memory tip: When you talk about yourself you say I. My has that same I sound, but it is written with a y.

My in a sentence

Example 1: This is my pencil.

Example 2: My Nani makes the best laddoos.

Example 3: My best friend sits next to me.

Fun Fact

My has none of the vowel letters a, e, i, o or u. The y does the vowel's job.
