Suffixes –able, -ible, -less, -ous Remember that suffixes are word parts added to the end of root words that change or add to the meaning of the word.

They also add one or more syllables to the root word and they can help you decode words. Able – “able to” Idle – “capable of” Look at this word audible. The ending of the word idle means “relating to things that can be heard” so audible means “able to be heard”. T218
