English

<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>

5. Was Prospero always powerful? How is the power he holds now linked to<br> language?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Prospero was an extremely powerful character and that is already being proved in the beginning of the play. The use of negative power that Prospero has arises as soon as he decides to start this big storm known as “The Tempest”. Prospero uses his power against other characters throughout the entire play.

Prospero’s identity as a sorcerer is bound up in his command of language gained through his “secret studies.” His ability to alter reality and dominate the island’s inhabitants depends on magic spells. Prospero also channels his power through Ariel, whose use of language often confuses or deceives the visitors.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)
