  2. What is a suffix? An affix that is added to the root or stem of the word.

  3. Inflectional Suffix • Suffixes can carry grammatical information (Inflectional) or lexical information (derivational). Example: The weather forecaster said it would clear today, but it hasn't cleared at all. • The suffix -ed inflects the root-word clear to indicate past tense.

  4. Derivational Suffix Example: "The weather forecaster said it would be a clear day today, but I think it's more like clearish!“ • The suffix -ish modifies the root-word clear, changing its meaning to "clear, but not very clear".

  5. Some Suffixes are…. • Able-able, can do • Age-act of, state of, collection of • Ence/ance-state of being • Ess-relating to a female • Fy-to make • Ish-origin • Ist-one who, that which • (o)logy-study, science, theory
