Words with endings: ICE – ISSE


Do you have doubts when writing certain words?

Don't worry, it's something normal and that will gradually resolve itself.

As we practice reading and writing a lot, we will learn the meaning and correct spelling of words.


Some are identical in sound, such as sweetness and left. And how to write them correctly?
For this, in the Portuguese language, there are some rules that must be followed and they work as an aid to better understand how the writing process works.

So let's learn one more? Watch carefully:
the words with the ending "ICE" are part of the nouns. See some examples:
sweetness
mischief
nonsense
old age
gluttony

Your sweetness enchants me!

the ending words "THIS" are part of the verbs. Like for example:
slept
left
smile
drive
had fun

I would love you to have fun during my birthday.

As you could see, all verbs are in the subjunctive mode, as they indicate a possibility, an uncertainty, whether something will happen or not.
