Grammar: pages 58 and 59 – Colons

Spelling rules to learn: 

1.  
Adding tion, sion or ssion:

• Use tion if the root word ends in t or te

Examples:
invent becomes invention – create becomes creation

• Use sion if the root word ends in d or de or if the final sound before the suffix is zh

Examples:
expand becomes expansion – collide becomes collision – confuse becomes confusion

• Use ssion if the root word ends in ss or mit

Examples:
confess becomes confession – permit becomes permission

2.  
Adding a suffix that begins with a vowel, to a word ending in fer:

• If the stress is on fer double the r

Examples:
referring – stress on fer so double r  
offered – stress is on off not fer so no double r

3.
Adding the ible or able suffix:

• Use able if a full root word can still be heard when adding the suffix

Examples:

comfortable – suitable – adorable – enjoyable

• Use ible if the full root word cannot be heard

Examples:

incredible – horrible – visible

Exception – sensible is ible, even though sense is a word and can still be heard!

Be sensible about sensible and remember it’s the other way to the rule!
