CONFUSING SUFFIXES
This appendix is intended to help you with some problematic suffixes required by the SSAA questions in SEMINAR TASK
SHEET 05 (TEAM BUILDING). You can also use it in preparation for other exams, or as reference.
Regarding some derivatives in English, there are two spelling variants of the same suffix only one is correct, with the
exception of the -ic / -icalpair (see below)! No spelling rules exist for the following:
-ence / -ance impertinence, tolerance etc.
-ent / - ant impertinent, tolerantetc.
-able / -ible accountable, responsibleetc.
-ability / -ibility accountability, responsibilityetc.
-ic / -ical economic, economicaletc.
Caution! In the case of the -ic / -ical pair please pay attention to possible differences in meaning! For example,
economic refers to the economy (e.g. economic reform, economic problems etc.); economical refers to not wasting
money, time, fuel, resources etc. (e.g. an economicalcar, an economicalperson). See the relevant task below.
On the following pages you will find exhaustive lists of derivatives containing the suffix pairs above. In order to make the
most of these lists, do the following tasks for all three tasks you may need to use a dictionary; pay attention to spelling
and the example sentences!
task 1Look at each group of words. Decide which words contain the suffixes in question
and which do not. For example, forgettable contains the suffix -able; table
contains no such suffix it simply contains the group of letters - able (these fourletters are not a suffix here).
task 2Print out these lists and highlight all derivatives containing -able, -ible etc. (based
on TASK 1 above).
task 3Look up the differences regarding the following pairs: classic / classical, magic /
magical, comic / comical, economic / economical.
task 4Whenever you solve the relevant SSAA questions in TASK SHEET 05 (TEAM
BUILDING), refer to these lists for confirmation.
