MEMORABLE
As
a rule DO NOT pronounce the ending as /eɪb(ə)l/
(only
the adjectives able /'eɪb(ə)l/
and unable /ʌnˈeɪb(ə)l/ are
pronounced like that.)
It
is also very important to know where the stress goes in each word.
Here
you have a few examples with the stressed syllable in bold. Listen to
the pronunciation and repeat!
