Instructions for Words ending in -ably

In English grammar, an adverb is a word that modifies or describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb. One way to form an adverb is to add the suffix -ably to the end of a root word.

For example, if we take the root word "comfort," we can add -ably to create the adverb "comfortably." This adverb describes how the action of the verb is being carried out - in this case, it describes how someone is sitting or lying down in a comfortable way.

Other examples of adverbs formed by adding -ably include "adorably" (from "adorable"), "credibly" (from "credible"), and "horribly" (from "horrible").

In the -ably word game, you'll have the opportunity to practice identifying and creating adverbs by adding -ably to root words. This will help you improve your English vocabulary and grammar skills. Remember to pay attention to the spelling of the root word when adding the suffix -ably, as some words may require additional letters or changes in spelling to form the correct adverb.
