Key Differences
First, think of "one coffee, two sugars" to remember it has one 'c' and two 's' letters. Second, remember that the root word is "necessity," which starts with 'n-e-c-e-s.' Third, consider the phrase "it's necessary to cease errors" to remember 'c-e-a-s-e' inside "necessary." Fourth, note that it has the same number of 'e's as it has syllables: four. Lastly, practice writing the word out a few times to reinforce the correct spelling.
