They can change a word from a verb to a noun, or from one type of adjective to another. Think of them as little word-changers! Today, we&#8217;re going to learn about two common suffixes: <strong>-able<\/strong> and <strong>-ment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-large-font-size\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Suffix -able<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">The suffix <strong>-able<\/strong> means &#8216;able to be&#8217; or &#8216;capable of&#8217;. When you add -able to a verb, it usually turns the verb into an adjective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-large-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Example 1:<\/strong> <em>read<\/em> (verb) + <em>-able<\/em> = <em>readable<\/em> (adjective) &#8211; able to be read<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Example 2:<\/strong> <em>wash<\/em> (verb) + <em>-able<\/em> = <em>washable<\/em> (adjective) &#8211; able to be washed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Example 3:<\/strong> <em>believe<\/em> (verb) + <em>-able<\/em> = <em>believable<\/em> (adjective) &#8211; able to be believed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-large-font-size\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Suffix -ment<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">The suffix <strong>-ment<\/strong> usually turns a verb into a noun. It often refers to the action, result, or state of doing something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-large-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Example 1:<\/strong> <em>agree<\/em> (verb) + <em>-ment<\/em> = <em>agreement<\/em> (noun) &#8211; the state of agreeing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Example 2:<\/strong> <em>excite<\/em> (verb) + <em>-ment<\/em> = <em>excitement<\/em> (noun) &#8211; the state of being excited<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Example 3:<\/strong> <em>govern<\/em> (verb) + <em>-ment<\/em> = <em>government<\/em> (noun) &#8211; the act or system of governing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-large-font-size\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Practice Time!<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Let&#8217;s practice! Read each word and determine its meaning based on the suffix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Instructions:<\/strong> For words ending in -able, think &#8216;able to be&#8217;. For words ending in -ment, think about the action or result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-large-font-size\"><table><tbody><tr><td>enjoyable<br>punishment<br>breakable<br>payment<br>agreeable<\/td><td>Write a sentence using each word, showing that you understand its meaning. For example:<strong>enjoyable:<\/strong> The movie was <em>enjoyable<\/em> because it made us laugh.<strong>punishment:<\/strong> His <em>punishment<\/em> was to clean his room.<strong>breakable:<\/strong> Be careful with that vase, it&#8217;s <em>breakable<\/em>!<strong>payment:<\/strong> I made a <em>payment<\/em> on my credit card.<strong>agreeable:<\/strong> The weather is <em>agreeable<\/em> today for a picnic.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-large-font-size\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>More Practice!<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Add either &#8216;-able&#8217; or &#8216;-ment&#8217; to the following words to make a new word. Then, use the new word in a sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list has-large-font-size\">\n<li>adjust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>suit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>imagine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>move<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>depend<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-large-font-size\">adjust + -ment = <strong>adjustment<\/strong>. <em>I needed to make an adjustment to my bike seat.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-large-font-size\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Today, we explored how suffixes change the meanings of words! Remember, <strong>-able<\/strong> means &#8216;able to be&#8217; and usually makes a word an adjective, while <strong>-ment<\/strong> often turns a verb into a noun related to an action or state. Keep practicing, and you&#8217;ll become suffix superstars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d
