We will be continuing to look at words ending in -cial and -tial today. If you did not discover this last week, ‘-cial’ endings are common after a vowel letter and ‘-tial’ endings are common after a consonant letter. Exceptions: initial, financial, provincial.

 

Write sentences using the following words: social, official, essential, substantial, confidential, influential, artificial and partial.
