Question

add suffixes to the following words:
1. deaf
2. sharp
3. simple

Answer 1

deafness,sharpen simplest

Answer 2

1. Deaf= deafening,

2. Sharp=sharpness,

3. Simple= simplicity, are the answers.

Here three different suffixes are added and in each cases a new word has been created.

Deaf is speechless but when deaf is added with a suffix ‘ening’, it becomes the synonym of loud.

Similarly sharpness, is the noun form of sharp and simple with suffix simplicity is the noun form of the adjective simple.
