The words in the list have the American English spelling.

Below are the principal differences in


spelling between British and American English.

In BrE, words that end in -l (which comes before a vowel) double the -l when a suffix is added,
whereas in AmE the letter -l is not doubled, e.g. modeling / modeling, travelled / traveled. The letter
must be doubled if the stress falls on the second syllable, e.g. rebel / rebelled (both in BrE and AmE)
Some words end in -tre in BrE and -ter in AmE, e.g. centre / center
Some words end in -ogue in BrE and -og in AmE, e.g. analogue / analog, catalogue / catalog
Some words end in -our in British English and -or in AmE, e.g. colour / color, labour / labor
Some verbs end in -ize or -ise in BrE but only in -ize in American English, e.g. realize / realize,
harmonise / harmonize
Some words end in -que in BrE and -ck or -k in AmE, e.g. cheque / check, chequer / checker
Some words end in -ence in BrE and -ense in AmE, e.g. defence / defense, licence / license

Below are some basic rules of word building.

We can make VERBS by adding these suffixes to nouns or adjectives:


-ate, -en, -ise/-ize

We can make NOUNS by adding these suffixes to verbs or adjectives:


-ence, -ion, -ity, -ism, -ility, -ness, -ment

We can make ADJECTIVES by adding these suffixes to verbs or nouns:


-able, -ive, -al, -ic, -ed, -ing, -ible

We can make ADVERBS by adding -ly or -ally to adjectives.
