Add A Suffix

Worksheet Description

This worksheet lists a series of verbs and asks students to add the correct suffixes to form both the noun and adjective derivatives of these words. There are no suffix options provided, so students must rely on their knowledge of word formation patterns to complete the task. Each verb is followed by two blank lines where students are expected to write the corresponding noun and adjective forms. The exercise tests the ability to accurately transform words across different parts of speech using appropriate suffixes.

The worksheet’s objective is to instruct students on the morphological construction of English words by focusing on the creation of nouns and adjectives from verb forms. It encourages students to think critically about the structure of words and to apply their knowledge of suffixes to expand simple verbs into more complex forms. This practice reinforces vocabulary acquisition and enhances grammatical understanding. Ultimately, students learn to manipulate word forms, which is a crucial skill for effective communication and writing in English.
