Spelling rule to practise at home
Year 4, Unit 7: Words ending in -ous
When you add the suffix -ous you might need to change the root word.
Swap, double or drop?
mountain
danger
courage
outrage
mountainous
dangerous
courageous
outrageous
Nothing to change in these words! You keep the e in ‘courage’ and ‘outrage’ so that the g is soft –
‘courageous’ not ‘courageous’.
We can add -ous as a suffix to these root words, too:
humour
glamour
vigour
But you do have to swap the our for or before adding the suffix -ous – like this:
humour
humorous
glamour
glamorous
vigour
vigorous
root word
courage
outrage
humour
glamour
vigour
root word + suffix -ous
courageous
outrageous
humorous
glamorous
vigorous
The above is the spelling rule which we are learning next week. Practise applying this and
find more words which use this rule.
