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 T: Very good! Now who’d like to share your collected suffixes with us? Ss: The following are some of the most commonly used suffixes. 1. Suffixes used as a noun signifier
