Noun And Adjective

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students understand how suffixes can alter the meaning of a base or root word and affect its part of speech. It focuses on two suffixes: “-tion,” which turns a verb into a noun indicating the action or result of the verb, and “-ive,” which turns a noun into an adjective suggesting a tendency or relation. Students are instructed to transform a list of verbs into corresponding nouns and adjectives by adding the appropriate suffix. The exercise helps reinforce vocabulary and word formation skills.

The worksheet aims to teach students about the morphological changes that occur when suffixes are added to words. By practicing with the suffixes “-tion” and “-ive,” students learn how a word’s function and meaning can be modified to fit different grammatical contexts. The task requires students to apply their understanding of these suffixes to a set of base verbs, thereby enhancing their word-building and grammatical abilities. The goal is to develop a deeper understanding of word structure and to expand their vocabulary.
