Best Answer

Traditionally, in the English language, when a verb ends in a consonant and then a 'y', the ending of the relevant third person singular ('he carries' or 'she carries', but not 'they carry' [third person plural], 'you carry' [second person] or 'I carry' [first person]) has the suffix -ies and the 'y' is dropped. Other examples include 'cry' becoming 'cries' and 'bury' becoming 'buries'.
