SUFFIXES
- A SUFFIX is a letter or group of letters added at the end of a word that change its form and meaning. For example:
- – Drive – driver / Write – Writer (From verb to noun)
- – Happy – happiness / Kind – kindness (From adjective to noun)
- – Home – homeless / Cash – cashless (From noun to adjective)
- – Soft – soften / Short – shorten (From adjective to verb)
- Sometimes when we add the suffix, the end of the original word changes. For example:
- – Beauty, plenty + -ful: beautiful, plentiful (-y to -i + -ful)
- – Crazy, lonely + -ness: craziness, loneliness (-y to -i + -ness)
- – Sensible, flexible + -ity: sensibility, flexibility (-le to il + -ity)
