How did you do?

  1. writing = write + ing (drop the ‘e’ with -ing)

  2. having = have + ing (drop the ‘e’ with -ing)

  3. imagination = imagine + ation (drop the ‘e’ with -ation)

  4. lovely = love + ly (keep the ‘e’ with -ly)

  5. both useable + usable (both are possible)

  6. excitable = excite + able (drop the ‘e’ with -able)

  7. making = make + ing (drop the ‘e’ with -ing)

  8. changeable = change + able (keep the ‘e’ with -ge + able to keep the soft ‘g’ “juh” sound)

  9. agree = agree + ing (keep the ‘e’ with double ‘e’)

  10. manageable = manage + able (keep the ‘e’ with -ge + able to keep the soft ‘g’ “juh” sound)

  11. both loveable + lovable (both are possible)

  12. sensible = sense + ible (drop the ‘e’ with -ible)
