Common Word Roots

Rule of thumb Here is the rule: If you remove -able from a word, you are left with a complete word (renewable, renew). If you remove -ible from a word, you are not left with a complete word (sensible, sens).

Here are some common words ending in -ible: illegible; responsible; eligible; incredible; reversible; invincible; suggestible; contemptible; feasible; negligible; susceptible; convertible; flexible; ostensible; tangible; gullible; terrible; horrible; plausible.

Use the –able ending if the root word is not changed e.g. comfort – comfortable. Use the –able ending if there is a related word that ends in –ation e.g. consideration – considerable. Use the –ible ending when you can’t hear a whole root word e.g invisible.

Using the suffix “-ar” While “-er” is the most common suffix to form nouns of agency from verbs, the suffix “-or” performs the same function in certain instances. However, there is a third suffix that can be used to form these types of nouns, and it is pronounced the same way as the other two: “-ar.”

It’s usually added to verbs to make nouns with the meaning ‘a person or thing that does something’, for example: builder, farmer, sprinkler, or beeper. The -er ending can also be used to form nouns meaning: ‘a person or thing that has a particular quality or form’, for example:double-decker, two-wheeler, skyscraper.

The -or suffix is primarily found in words derived from Latin, whereas -er can be put on the end of just about any verb that involves an agent (a ‘doer’ of the ‘action’). But Latin-derived words differ in how strongly they are associated with the -or suffix.

For shorter adjectives, you need to add -er to the end of the word to make a comparative or add -est to form a superlative. For longer words, we add “more” before the adjective for the comparative form or “most” for the superlative.
