Spell Well • Words ending in '–ing'
• Suffixes '–able', '–ful', '–less'
We usually drop the e at the end of words, when we add ‘-ing’, as shown in the examples
given below.

1. dance — dancing 2. use — using

3. graze — grazing 4. hope — hoping

A. Rewrite the given words after adding ‘-ing’ at the end.

1. make → 2. change →

3. love → 4. shave →

You already know that a suffix is an addition of a letter or a group of letters to the end
of a word that can change its meaning.

Some common suffixes are -able, -ful and -less.

Examples: 1. print — printable (the suffix -able is added, which means ‘having the
quality of’)

2. joy — joyful (the suffix -ful is added, which means ‘full of’)

3. hope — hopeless (the suffix -less is added, which means ‘without’)
