Rule Set: Suffixes

Spelling Rule:
Magic 'e' & suffix endings

vowel suffix endings, = drop the magic 'e'

consonant suffix endings, = keep the magic 'e'

When adding a vowel suffix, which starts with the letter “e”. It looks like the letter “e” has not been dropped. This is because if you didn't drop a vowel, you would end up with a double “ee”.
