36. Verbs to adjectives
|
A lot of
verbs can be changed to adjectives by the addition of a suffix (e.g., -able,
-ous, -ful)
to the end of the word. Some verbs
can have more than one adjective form (e.g., bore = boring or bored). Sometimes you may need to
remove or change a letter at the end of the word before adding a suffix (e.g. vary = variable)
Complete the
following sentences with an adjective formed from the verb in bold.
