Teacher’s Tip
We drop the silent e from words when we add an ending beginning with a vowel. We keep it when we add an ending beginning with a consonant.
(excite-exciting and excitable but keep the e to become excitement)
There are some exceptions. Here are a few: words ending with -ee, -oe, -ye, -ge, -ce
see-seeing
agree-agreeing
canoe-canoeist
dye-dyeing
manage-manageable
