Alright I need help in English which is the subject I most suck at. There are 3 questions I have to figure out and I don't understand them. Group I. If the root is a full word, the ending is usually -able. Group II. When the root is a full word except for a final e, the forms usually are spelled with -able. Group III. The suffix -able always follows i. Group IV. When the root has other forms built on the letter a, the -able form is used. Group V. When the root ends in hard c or g, -able is used. Just a second...
Group VI. When the root is not a full word, -ible is used. Group VII. When the word has an immediate -tion form, -ible is used. Group VIII. When the root ends in ns, miss, or soft c or g, -ible is used. Which suffix, -able or -ible, should this word have? Also list the mnemonic group rule number that applies.
1 question per post !
so wait for this one to be helped with
Here are the questions: 1. desir____ - -able or -ible Which is group is it apart of?
One question sorry.
well if the root word is desire. and the correct addition would be desirable, which do you think?
Uh... group 1?
No group 2.
yes!
Sweet thanks! So should I list out the other problems to you through this or separate them?
different post. ill go right to them. lol remember to post the first half again
actually
just post the questions on this one. less of a hassle
Okay. Question 2: envi____ - -ible or -able Which group is it apart of?
envy-enviable
I'm going to say its Group 3, with the suffix -able. But I'm not sure.
Am I right? Cause I'm not sure.
well envy is the root word..
it changes to enviable
i think group 4
Now the final question which doesn't make much sense to me: Person____ - -ible or -able? Which group?
person- personable
group 1
I don't think problem 2 is group 4 because its not being built off of an a.
Right yeah that's kinda easy for problem 3. I added the able and ible to the end of person when trying to say it and it just didn't sound right so that's why I was confused. Thanks for your help!
oh woops i meant to type 3 for number 2 lol sorry
