SUFFIXES

A
suffix changes the meaning of the word it is joined to by changing
its part of speech;
e.g. we can add –ity
to the adjective national
to
make the noun nationality.

We
often need to change the spelling, for example,
urgent
becomes urgency.

A
few suffixes, particularly at the end of adjectives, have meaning;
e.g.
–less
always indicates ‘without’: meaningless,
homeless, hopelessly.

Here
are the most common noun suffixes you should remember. Nouns are
mostly made from verbs, adjectives or other nouns by adding a suffix.
