Suffixes

When you add a letter; or group of letters; to the end of a word, you can create a new word, or change the meaning of the original word.  Examples of these letters added to the end of the words are, “ly” or “ness”, eg. “friendly” or “kindness”.

Description

Why do we need to use suffixes?  Most often, the aim is to describe a part of speech.  For example adding “ing” to the word “dream”, gives you “dreaming”, turning a noun into a verb, which is an action word.  They can also identify the tense of words, or whether the words are plural or singular.

Once children have worked through the examples that we include, the teacher could ask them to attempt to find their own ‘new’ words, that can be changed by the addition of a suffix.  This activity could produce some hilarious responses.

Examples

dreaming regional
friendly strengthen
childish loudly
