Suffixes are word endings we add to roots.

We use suffixes to change words into nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs.

change good to goodness, weak to weakness, etc. The suffix ant is used to form nouns or adjectives. We
change please to pleasant, serve to servant, etc.
-tion

action, elect to election, etc. Like ant, the suffix ent forms nouns or adjectives. We
change differ to different, preside to president, etc.

to allowance, assist, to assistance. We use the suffix able to form adjectives. We change
agree to agreeable, honour to honourable, etc.
