I can spell words using the suffix -able.

Show transcript
Most words in English with the -able or -ible suffix will use -able. Removing the -able suffix generally leaves a recognisable word, e.g. agreeable - agree. Words in word families using the suffixes -ation, -able and -ably are connected in spelling and meaning. If the root word ends in ‘ce’ or ‘ge’, keep the ‘e’ before adding -able. How to spell the curriculum words: symbol, system and identity.
