Independent Focused Activity

Learning More about Suffixes - i z e - ify - ate A suffix is added to the end of a root which is either a whole word or part of a word –to form a new word as well as alter the way it functions grammatically. For example, adding the suffix – en (meaning to become or to make something ) to the end of the word weak results in a new word with a new meaning weaken . weak- en

Learning More about Suffixes It is important to understand the definitions of suffixes, because they help us to know the meanings of any new words that we learn. Think about the different words which can be created through adding the above suffixes. - i z e - ate - ify s terili ze l iquidate magnify modernize a ctivate glorify What do you think the definition of each suffix is? The suffixes – i z e -ate - ify – en are verb suffixes.

Learning More about Suffixes Remember, when we add the suffixes the usual spelling rules apply: For words ending in ‘y’ (change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ before adding the ending): memory = memori z e Words ending in ‘e’ (remove the ‘e’ before adding the ending): simple = simplify Words ending with a short vowel sound ( double the consonant before adding the ending): swim = swimming

Learning More about Suffixes - ify peace + ify = pacify horror + ify = horrify You can change nouns and adjectives into verbs by adding the suffix –ify. Example: The ice cube is solid. I solidify the water by freezing it. Through adding the suffix - ify we have changed the adjective ‘solid’ into the verb ‘solidify’. humid + ify = humidify However, sometimes the root word changes before the suffix is added.

Spelling Rules for - ify Many words with the suffix –ify are created simply by adding the –ify suffix to a noun or adjective root word, e.g. solid + - ify = solidify However, sometimes we need to remove the ‘e’ from the end of a noun or adjective root word before adding –ify, e.g. pure –e = pur pur+ - ify = purify Root words that end in ‘y’ usually remove this letter before adding –ify, e.g. glory –y = glor glor + - ify = glorify

Learning More about Suffixes - ate You can change nouns and adjectives into verbs by adding the suffix –ate. active + ate = activate - ate Example: He was turned away with his invalid ticket. He tore up his ticket to invalidate it. Through adding the suffix we have changed the no un “invalid” into the v er b “ invalidate " . But again, the root word often changes before the suffix is added (this happens a lot with the –ify suffix!) medical + ate = medicate pollen + ate = pollinate

Spelling Rules for - ate Many words with the suffix –ate are created simply by adding the –ate suffix to a noun or adjective root word, e.g. carbon+ -ate = carbonate However, sometimes we need to remove the ‘e’ from the end of a noun or adjective root word before adding –ate, e.g. vaccine –e = vaccin vaccin + -ate = vaccinate To change an – ation noun to an –ate verb, remove the – ation suffix and replace it with –ate, e.g. hibernation -- ation= hiber n hibern + -ate = hibernate

Learning More about Suffixes - i z e You can change nouns and adjectives into verbs by adding the suffix – i z e. Example: The proper noun needs to begin with a capital letter. She needs to capitali z e the proper noun. Through adding the suffix - i z e we have changed the adjective ‘capital’ into the verb ‘ capitali z e’. Again, the root sometimes changes before the suffix is added. hypnotic + i z e = hypnoti z e magnet + i z e = magneti z e

Making Adjectives to Nouns

The suffix -ness changes many adjectives (describing words) into nouns (naming words). for example thick + ness = thickness The book Kate was reading was very thick. (adjective) Do you know the thickness of this piece of wood? (noun) If the adjective ends in 'y' then it needs to be changed to 'i' before ness is added. happy + ness = happiness

The suffix - ity can also be used to change adjectives into nouns. for example: similar + ity = similarityThe twins were very similar. (adjective) The teacher thought that Paul had copied Jack because there was a great similarity between their answers. (noun) If an adjective ends in 'e' then the 'e' needs to be dropped before - ity is added. pure + ity = purity

Complete the sentences below. Use the suffix ‘-ness’ with the words in the box. 1. Can money buy happiness? Can it put a smile on your face? 2. You should never look directly at the sun. It can cause __________________. 3. The __________________ of Antarctica is incredible. Temperatures can drop to -89oC. 4. His __________________ lasted a long time.
