A suffix is a letter or group of letters added at the end of a word which makes a new word.

words

suffix

new words

forget, use

-ful

forgetful, useful

state, govern

-ment

statement, government

complicate, create

-ion

complication, creation

The new word is most often a different word class from the original word. In the table above, the suffix -ful has changed verbs to adjectives, -ment, and -ion have changed verbs to nouns. If you see a word ending in -ment, for example, it is likely to be a noun (e.g. commitment, contentment).

Suffixes: spelling

Often, the suffix causes a spelling change to the original word. In the table above, the -e ending of complicate and create disappears when the -ion suffix is added. Other examples of spelling changes include:

beauty, duty + -ful → beautiful, dutiful (-y changes to i)

heavy, ready + -ness → heaviness, readiness (-y changes to i)

able, possible + -ity → ability, possibility (-le changes to il)

permit, omit + -ion → permission, omission (-t changes to ss)

A good learner’s dictionary will give you information on the correct spelling of words with suffixes.
