Hello everybody,
I see that in English you can make a suffix "able" to same verbs and it changes the form of those verbs.
e.g. : To eat.
Eatable : This fish is eatable.
Could you try to write five or more phrases with able's suffix.
Good luck. Werriy58

Be careful with the use of 'eatable'.Most of people say it's not a word and would use 'edible' instead (well, it's a word to me).
Compare.
'eatable' food might not be excellent food, still is good enough to eat.
'edible' food is food that is suitable to eat.
Ex: the fish dishes at the school cantine are eatable (means that you don't quite like them)
Ex: the bones in fish aren't edible (means you cannot eat them)
