To find 10 words in which "y" is changed to "i" before adding a suffix that begins with a vowel, we can follow these steps:

1. Start with a word that ends in "y".
2. Identify a suffix that starts with a vowel (a, e, i, o, or u).
3. If the suffix starts with a vowel and the word ends in "y", change the "y" to "i" before adding the suffix.
4. Repeat this process to find 10 words that fit this pattern.

Here are 10 examples:

1. Dry + ing = Drying
2. Fry + ing = Frying
3. Cry + ed = Cried
4. Try + ed = Tried
5. Study + ing = Studying
6. Apply + ing = Applying
7. Copy + ed = Copied
8. Modify + ing = Modifying
9. Identify + ed = Identified
10. Multiply + ing = Multiplying

By following these steps, we can find words in which "y" is changed to "i" before adding a suffix starting with a vowel.
