E : complete one column each night in your best, joined up handwriting and check the meanings of any words you are unsure of.
RULES This week we are practising the spelling of words that are made by adding the suffix –ous.
When we add –ous to a word the word usually changes from a noun into an adjective.
E.G.
danger > dangerous
(notice how –ous is added to the original word (AKA root word)
EXCEPTIONS:
fame > famous
BUT
advantage > advantageous
(notice how -e is dropped and -ous is added)
fury > furious
(notice -y changes into -i)
(notice how –ge is NOT dropped and –ous is added at the end)
obvious
Sometimes there isn’t a clear split between root word and suffix e.g serious, fabulous
an “i” sound before the –ous is normally spelt i e.g. curious BUT a few words have e instead e.g. hideous
Practise these spellings. Write four sentences using four words from the spelling list, used correctly.
EXTENSION: Can you think of your own examples?
