Lesson Excerpt

A suffix is a letter, syllable, or word that is added to a root or stem of a word to either form a new word or add to its meaning. Suffixes are placed at the end of the root word. The main thing that a suffix shows is how it will be used in a sentence and how it is classified, in terms of whether the word is a noun, a verb, an adverb, or an adjective.

Lesson Proper:

• Discussion
  
  Inflection changes grammatical properties of a word within its syntactic category. In the example:
  
  The weather forecaster said it would clear today, but it hasn't cleared at all.
  the suffix -ed inflects the root-word clear to indicate past tense.
  
  Some inflectional suffixes in present day English:
  
  • -s third person singular present
  • -ed past tense
  • -ing progressive/continuous
  • -en past participle
  • -s plural
  • -en plural (irregular)
  • -er comparative
  • -est superlative
  • -n't negative[2]


• Boardwork
• The teacher will ask the students to identify suffixes from the sentences given.

Evaluation:

• List atleast 20 works with suffix and use each in sentences.
