Most words drop a silent E before adding a suffix:
dare - daring
leave - leaving
change - changed
whole - wholly
possible - possibly
true - truly
However, when adding -able, -ably, or -ability, words that end in -ce or -ge
will retain the E.
move - movable - movably (drops E)
believe - believable - believably - believability (drops E)
knowledge - knowledgeable (keeps E)
change - changeable - changeability (keeps E)
notice - noticeable - noticeably (keeps E)
A - advisable.

When adding a suffix to the word "continue," the correct rule is to drop the final "e" before adding the suffix.
When adding the suffix "-ing" to the word "glide," you would drop the final "e" in "glide" before adding the suffix. This is because when adding a vowel suffix like "-ing" to a word ending in a silent "e," the "e" is typically dropped to maintain the original pronunciation of the word. Therefore, "glide" becomes "gliding" after dropping the final "e" before adding the suffix.
A - advisable.
It depends on the situation. If the y is preceded by a consonant, it is usually changed to i before adding a suffix (e.g., happy becomes happiness). If the y is preceded by a vowel, you typically keep the y when adding a suffix (e.g., play becomes playing).

That's correct! When adding a suffix that begins with a vowel to a base word that ends in "ee," the final "e" is typically retained to maintain the pronunciation of the base word. This helps to avoid creating a new pronunciation or a different word altogether.
The e is generally dropped from the end of the root word. For example, change + -ed is changed; change + ing is changing.

It depends on the word and the suffix being added. In some cases, the final e may be dropped when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel, while in other cases, it may be retained to maintain the original pronunciation or to indicate the word's root. It is important to follow spelling rules and patterns when adding suffixes to words.
