Lesson One Deleting Final <e> in Stems


that End Ve#

1 Final <e> Deletion Rule. You delete a final <e> that marks a soft <c> or soft <g>

only when you add a suffix that begins with the letters ,________, ________ or________; you delete

all other silent final <e>'s whenever you add a suffix that starts with any__________.

2 Here are some free stems and suffixes for you to add together to practice final <e> deletion:

Free Stem + Suffix = Word rhyme + ing = analyze + ed = arrive + al = immune + ize = marriage + able = chocolate + y = motorcyle + ist = disguise + ing = complete + ed = concrete + ion = supportive + ness = breathe + ing = mortgage + able = mortgage + ed = exercise + ing =

3 So far you've worked with final <e> deletion only with words that have a consonant right in front of the final <e> — like the <c> in pronounce or the <m> in rhyme. But words that end with the pattern Ve#, like true and dye, have a vowel right in front of the final <e>. When we add a suffix that starts with a vowel to words with the Ve# pattern, different things can happen.

For instance, below are some words whose stems end in the Ve# pattern <oe>#. We have analyzed them into their stems and suffixes. Mark any final <e> deletion that took place and then write either "Yes" or "No" in the right hand column as we have done with the first one:

Words = Stem + Suffix Did final <e> deletion occur? toed = to£ + ed Yes hoeing = hoe + ing hoer = hoe + er canoeing = canoe + ing canoed = canoe + ed canoeist = canoe + ist horseshoer = horseshoe + er horseshoeing = horseshoe + ing

4 When you add a suffix that starts with a vowel to a stem that ends <oe>, you do NOT delete the final <e> if the suffix starts with the letter. Otherwise, you do delete the final <e>, just as the Final <e> Deletion Rule says.
