Suffixes ful, less, ly, able | English Grammar for Children | Grade 2 | Kids Academy

The English language is very interesting, if you look at the words closely you will see some repetitive combination of alphabets ending the words. These letters that end a word are called ‘suffixes. These suffixes change the meaning of words and can create new words. In this video we talk about 4 suffixes:

-ful

-less

-ly

-able

-ful

When we add suffix -ful to a word it changes its meaning to ‘full of’. For example:

• Colorful

• Grateful

-less

When we add -less to a word it means ‘without’, which means that something is without the word that’s in the start of this word. For example:

• Homeless

• Helpless

1. How did she act? Answer: Badly

2. Ho
