The final e is dropped from the base word when we spell the word believable because the suffix begins with a vowel. The suffix used in the word believable is -able. This is one of the vowel suffixes. The general rule is, in order to add a vowel suffix to a word ending in silent e, the final e should be removed then connect the vowel suffix.

It's a good idea to write fully developed paragraphs because?
wlad13 [49]
A paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and coherent, and are all related to a single topic. Almost every piece of writing you do that is longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. This is because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and end, and thus help the reader see the organization of the essay and grasp its main points.
