Words ending in e in the following consonant drop the e before a suffix begging with a vowel:
believe + er =believer
make + ing =making
love +er = lover
take + ing =taking
move +ing =moving
But there are some words that don’t
change any e rather it stays like-wise:
dye + ing =dyeing
eye +ing =eyeing or eying (both are correct)
age + ing =ageing noted that e
remains before except American English
A final e is
retained before a suffix beginning with a consonant
engage + ment= engagement
hope +ful=hopeful
manage + ment =management
judge + ment= judgement (UK) judgment (in America)
The final e
is dropped in the following words
argue =argument
due =duly
true =truly
whole =wholly
Words ending ee don’t drop before suffix:
agree = agreement; agreeing; agreed
free= freely
foresee= foreseeing; foreseeable
seed = seeing; seeded;
