To understand what suffixes are, be able to identify them in words and start using them in your writing.
This lesson includes:
- a video explaining suffixes
- three activities to do at home
Learn
A suffix is a letter or group of letters that goes on the end of a word and changes the word's meaning.
- Sometimes they also change the original word's spelling. When adding a suffix you might have to double the last letter. For example when adding ed to drop you also double the p so it becomes dropped.
Some suffixes have specific uses. For example:
- Adding ing can change a noun into a verb, like garden to gardening.
- Using the suffix ed can turn a verb to the past tense, like jump becomes jumped.
