Question

Form an adjective from the following noun:
Trouble
a)Troublesome
b)Troublely
c)Troubleful
d)Troublable

Answer 1

Hint: Adjectives are those words that describe the qualities or states of being of nouns. Examples of adjectives are – red, sweet, sour, cold, etc.

Complete answer:

First let us understand what the word - Trouble means - it can be described as a difficulty, problem, unrest, disorder, etc. For e.g. - The kids stir trouble with their pranks, or this will lead to trouble for all of us.
Now, if you look at the options you will find the one which describes the quality or state of being of the noun.
Here, as you can see that the options – b, c, & d are troublely, troubleful, & troublable respectively and these words do not exist in the vocabulary of the English language. Therefore, we can not use them as adjectives. Hence,they are incorrect.
Therefore, the correct option would be – option a. It is an adjective where the suffix '-some’ indicates 'characterized by or causing trouble'. For example, in the sentence "His fights were troublesome in many ways", the adjective 'troublesome' modifies the noun 'fight' saying that his actions caused or causing the trouble.

 Note: The simplest way to convert a noun into an adjective is to add a suffix at the end of the root word. Examples of such suffixes are: -ly, -able, -al, -ous, -ary, -ful, -ic, -ish, -less, -y etc. Hence, keep these suffixes in mind while forming an adjective. that way you will find it easier to understand your concepts.
