Why practice Suffixes exercises?
These suffix exercises build your word-building skills step by step, covering levels A2 to B2. Start by learning person and agent suffixes to describe jobs and roles (teach → teacher, music → musician), then master noun-forming suffixes to choose between -tion, -ment, -ness and more. Progress to adjective suffixes including meaning pairs like -ful and -less, and learn how to form the noun form of adjectives (e.g., happy → happiness, able → ability). Tackle confusable pairs like -able vs -ible with their spelling rules, practise verb suffixes like -ise, -ify and -en, and finish with a mixed exam-style suffix challenge.
