Literacy

Words ending in -e

 

The "Skip navigation" link should bring you here to the start of the main content

Be careful when you add a suffix to a word which ends in -e. Sometimes you need to keep the -e, sometimes you need to drop it. It all depends on which suffix you use.

hope + ing = hoping (With -ing, you need to drop the -e)

hope + ful = hopeful (If the first letter of the suffix is a consonant, you need to keep the -e)

Remember, a, e, i, o and u are vowels. All the other letters are consonants.

Do these word sums to make new words. Click on the "Finished" button to have your work marked for you.
