Adding able to words ending in e

  that end in e you drop the e before adding able.
• Usually when words end in ce or ge you do not
  drop the e when adding able.
• This occurs because if a word ends in ce or ge
  dropping the e would change the pronunciation of
  the word. It would change the soft c and g into
  hard consonant sounds.
