Adding Suffixes

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is focused on the application of the suffix “-ful” to various base words in order to form adjectives that describe a person or object possessing a certain quality. The worksheet presents sentences with blanks where students must insert the appropriate word ending with “-ful” to complete each sentence. Each sentence begins with “Someone who is full of…” or a similar phrase, followed by a quality such as “vengeance,” “regret,” or “life,” prompting the student to transform these nouns into their adjective forms.

The objective of the worksheet is to teach students how to use the suffix “-ful” to create adjectives that denote an abundance or presence of a certain characteristic. It encourages students to understand how adding “-ful” to a noun can express the idea of being filled with that particular quality. This exercise helps to expand the students’ vocabulary and reinforces their understanding of how suffixes can change the meaning of a word. Moreover, it also improves their ability to comprehend and use descriptive language effectively in sentences.
