4. Suffixes: -ly, -ful, -less, -er, -or 

What is a suffix?

1. A suffix is a small ending added to the end of a word to change its meaning or how it is used.

2. Example: quick → quickly; help → helpful; fear → fearless; teach → teacher; act → actor.

-ly (makes many adverbs: “how” something happens)

1. Meaning: “in a ___ way.”

2. Spelling tip: If an adjective ends with y, change y to i + ly (happy → happily).

3. Examples:

   1. quick + ly → quickly = in a quick way

   2. quiet + ly → quietly = in a quiet way

   3. careful + ly → carefully = in a careful way

   4. happy → happily = in a happy way

-ful (makes adjectives: “full of ___”)

1. Meaning: “full of” or “having.”

2. Spelling tip: -ful is spelled with one l (careful, not carefull).

3. Examples:

   1. help + ful → helpful = full of help

   2. cheer + ful → cheerful = full of cheer

   3. hope + ful → hopeful = having hope

   4. color + ful → colorful = full of color

-less (makes adjectives: “without ___”)

1. Meaning: “without” or “lacking.”

2. Spelling tip: Add to a noun to show there is none of it.

3. Examples:

   1. hope + less → hopeless = without hope

   2. care + less → careless = without care

   3. power + less → powerless = without power

   4. fear + less → fearless = without fear (brave)

-er (person who does a job or action)

1. Meaning: “a person who ___.” (In this lesson we mean the job/agent ending, not the comparative “bigger.”)

2. Spelling tips:

   1. If the verb ends vowel + consonant (CVC), double the last consonant (run → runner; shop → shopper).

   2. If the verb ends with a silent e, keep the e (bake → baker; make → maker).

3. Examples:

   1. teach + er → teacher = a person who teaches

   2. farm + er → farmer = a person who farms

   3. paint + er → painter = a person who paints

   4. run + ner → runner = a person who runs

-or (person who does a job or action)

1. Meaning: “a person who ___.”

2. Spelling tip: Many -or words come from verbs like act, invent, visit; students should learn common -or jobs by sight.

3. Examples:

   1. act + or → actor = a person who acts

   2. invent + or → inventor = a person who invents

   3. visit + or → visitor = a person who visits

   4. sail + or → sailor = a person who sails

Quick compare: -er vs -or (jobs)

1. Many jobs use -er (teacher, farmer, painter, driver).

2. Some common jobs use -or (actor, doctor, inventor, visitor, sailor).

3. Tip for kids: If you’re not sure, try -er first; if it looks wrong or is a known job word, it may be -or.
