List of Suffixes and Suffix Examples
Suffixes are a letter or group of letters added to the ending of words to change their meaning or function. These useful, shapeshifting tools can be as small as -s, and -ed, or can be larger additions such as -ation, and -ious.
The Function of a Suffix
Like prefixes, there are many suffixes used in the English language to create a rich vocabulary. These suffixes change the meaning or grammatical function of a base word or root word. For example, by adding the suffixes -er and -est to the adjective fond, you create the comparative fonder and the superlative, fondest.
Take the suffix -ist, by adding this to a word you have changed the word to describe a person who performs or practices something. So, art becomes artist, a person skilled in a particular art.
Let's look at the verb read. This verb can be turned into a noun by adding the suffix -er, and so read becomes reader. Likewise, by adding the suffix -able the verb read now becomes the adjective readable.
