In careful and careless, the base word is care. You simply add -ful or -less, you do not change the spelling of care at the start.

In KS3 English Spelling, you meet many words starting with ca-, such as cabin, cancel, career and capture. By noticing how root words and endings fit together, you can spot reliable spelling patterns and apply them accurately in your own reading and writing tasks.

Key Terms

Make short lists of ca- words, say each one aloud, then copy them into sentences. Test yourself later by covering the list and writing the spellings from memory.
