Step I Suffixation

Ask students to fill in the charts with the proper forms of the words by practicing Activity 1 on page 4. At last, check the answers with the whole class. T: Today we’re going to learn about suffixes. Do you know what a suffix is? S1: A suffix is a particle, which is added to the end of a root.

T: Good. Do you know anything more about it? S2: Generally, suffixes do not change the meaning of the root, but its part of speech. e.g. lead (v.)→leadership (n.)

ill (adj.) → illness (n.) S3: Although each suffix has its own meaning, it can’t be used separately without the root.

S4: However, some suffixes add new meanings to the newly formed words.

e.g. meaning →

meaningless

think → thinker
