The words in this list follow an important spelling rule regarding the final e in words. You should drop the e when adding a vowel suffix to a word, but you must keep it when adding a consonant suffix. Understanding this rule is essential for improving your spelling skills and ensuring that your writing remains clear and correct.
Let's use the word take as an example. When you add the vowel suffix -ing, it changes to taking as you drop the final e. However, in the case of a consonant suffix, such as in hateful, you keep the e. This rule also applies to other pairs of words, like use becoming using and safe turning into safely.
By learning to apply this spelling rule correctly, you will improve your writing skills and boost your confidence in using English. Throughout this page, we will provide examples that illustrate how this rule works in practice, helping you become more comfortable with spelling variations. Let’s dive in and explore this important aspect of English spelling!
