A <strong>suffix<\/strong> is a group of letters added to the <em>end<\/em> of a word to change its meaning. Think of them as word endings that add something extra to the base word!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>-able: Meaning &#8216;able to be&#8217;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The suffix &#8216;-able&#8217; usually means &#8216;able to be&#8217; or &#8216;capable of&#8217;. When you add &#8216;-able&#8217; to a verb, you&#8217;re saying something can be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wash<\/strong> + <strong>-able<\/strong> = <strong>Washable<\/strong> (able to be washed)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Read<\/strong> + <strong>-able<\/strong> = <strong>Readable<\/strong> (able to be read)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enjoy<\/strong> + <strong>-able<\/strong> = <strong>Enjoyable<\/strong> (able to be enjoyed)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Believe<\/strong> + <strong>-able<\/strong> = <strong>Believable<\/strong> (able to be believed)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adapt<\/strong> + <strong>-able<\/strong> = <strong>Adaptable<\/strong> (able to be adapted)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>-ible: Also Meaning &#8216;able to be&#8217;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The suffix &#8216;-ible&#8217; <em>also<\/em> means &#8216;able to be&#8217;.
