How do you spell tapestry?

Syllables: tap - es - try

Tricky part: The middle vowel is said so quickly that you can hardly hear it, so it is easy to write the wrong one.

Watch out for: tapastry, tapestery, tapesty

Memory tip: The last part sounds like stree but is spelt stry, with no e before the y.

Tapestry in a sentence

Example 1: A huge tapestry of elephants in a parade hung in the palace hall.
