Common misconception
Pupils will be more familiar with 'g' and 'ck' at the end of words so may spell words incorrectly.
The ‘gue’ and ‘que’ sounds nearly always appear at the end of words e.g. vague and antique. The ‘g’ and the ‘k’ sound with the more common spellings, can appear anywhere within a word e.g. eagle, kid and back.
