ible and able word endings
What’s the rule?
When we cannot identify a root word, we most commonly add ible, eg legible. When you can identify the root word this means that you are able to, therefore we add able. Eg forgivable means you are able to forgive.
Sort these word beginnings to the correct ible or able ending. Add more examples if you can think of any.

invinc______
terr______
ador_____
dispos______
ed___
horr_____
