English
1 answer:
kvv77 [185]3 years ago
8 0
<span>We usually drop the 'e' at the end of words when adding an ending that begins with a vowel suffix (e.g. -ing, -ed, -er, -able, -ous, ).</span><span>But with words ending in 'ge' keep the 'e' before 'able' to keep the soft 'ge' sound-
manageable, changeable, knowledgeable...
<span>We also keep the 'e' in words ending in 'ce' before 'able' to keep the soft 'c' ( "s") sound-
noticeable, replaceable, serviceable...
<span>Another exception to the rule is the final -e is not dropped from words ending in: -ee, -oe, -ye.
see - seeing, agree - agreeing, canoe - canoeist, dye - dyeing</span></span></span>

What punctuation mark is often used to insert exclamation text into a quotation
natulia [17]
Assuming you meant explanatory text and not exclamation text, the answer would be brackets. For example, say your quotation is "She wrote the book." If you are quoting this directly in a paper, you want your audience to know who "she" is. So, you use brackets, and write the following: "[J.K. Rowling] wrote the book." Hope this helps.

Write two paragraph objective summary that describes the purpose and main ideas of Henry David Thoreau's "Resistance to Civil Go
Nana76 [90]
Summary. Walden is an account of the two years during which Henry David Thoreau built his own cabin, raised his own food, and lived a life of simplicity in the woods near Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau's idea was that one's true self could be lost amid the distractions of ordinary life. Thoreau's attitude toward reform involved his transcendental efforts to live a spiritually meaningful life in nature. As a transcendentalist, Thoreau believed that reality existed only in the spiritual world, and the solution to people's problems was the free development of emotions ("Transcendentalism").
