Suffixes -able and -ible Worksheet

Determine which -able or -ible word correctly completes a sentence based on context

Distinguish between words that end in -able and words that end in -ible

Review each word bank term's meaning as a class before students work independently, since the task requires understanding meaning, not just recognizing the suffix.

Have students cross off each word bank term as they use it, since the eight sentences and eight word-bank words appear to form a one-to-one match.

Suffix meaning in context — students choose the -able/-ible word (e.g. possible, edible, adorable) that fits each sentence's meaning.

Suffix spelling — students recognize the ending and copy the selected whole word from the bank.

Vocabulary in context — students use surrounding sentence clues to identify the intended word.
