Suffixes are added to the ends of words, usually to change their grammatical form:

  • beauty (noun) - beautiful (adjective)
  • quick (adjective) - quickly (adverb)
  • maintain (verb) - maintenance (noun) 

Today we're going to look at 10 suffixes with 5 example words each. If you want to see sentences using each of these words, make sure to download the free lesson PDF!
