Suffixes

In this lesson, you will learn more about forming new words by adding suffixes.

Suffix

Suffixes are a letter or group of letters added to the ending of words to change their meaning or function. These useful, shapeshifting tools can be as small as -s, and -ed, or can be larger additions such as -ation, and -ious.

Example:

help (verb) + er = helper (noun)

nature(noun)+ al= Natural (adjective)
