Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a teaching tool designed to educate students about the suffix “-less” and its meaning in the English language. It begins by asking students to define what a suffix is and then to describe what the specific suffix “-less” signifies. Following this, there is a section where students are prompted to write words that correspond to given definitions, all of which imply a lack of something, as indicated by the suffix “-less.” The worksheet concludes with a question that encourages students to think of other words that end with “-less.”

The worksheet aims to enhance students’ understanding of the suffix “-less” by engaging them in an exercise that demonstrates how it can change the meaning of root words to indicate absence or lack. It teaches students to recognize and form adjectives that describe something as lacking in a particular quality or element. The activity not only reinforces vocabulary skills but also deepens comprehension of how suffixes modify word meaning in English. It is particularly useful for expanding students’ descriptive language abilities and for fostering morphological awareness in language learning.
