Introduction to Common Suffixes
Suffixes such as -ment, -ness, and -tion are added to base words to create nouns that describe actions, qualities, or states. For example, 'enjoy' becomes 'enjoyment', indicating the state or process of enjoying. Similarly, 'happy' becomes 'happiness', describing the state of being happy, and 'inform' becomes 'information', referring to data or facts. Understanding these suffixes helps improve vocabulary and grammatical accuracy.
