-ment And -ing Pattern

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to educate students on the application of the suffixes -ment and -ing to verbs. It includes a list of verbs for which students are asked to write the corresponding noun and adjective forms by adding these suffixes. The suffix -ment transforms a verb into a noun that denotes the action or result, while the suffix -ing added to some verbs can form adjectives that describe a state or quality.

The worksheet’s purpose is to teach students how to expand their vocabulary by modifying verbs into nouns and adjectives using suffixes. It illustrates the morphological structure of English words and demonstrates how the addition of a suffix can change a word’s grammatical category and meaning. This practice helps students to not only understand but also to actively engage in the process of word formation. As a result, students can better express varied concepts and enhance their language skills.
