tips for teaching<\/h3>\n

Suffixes that begin with a consonant are added directly to the base word<\/p>\n

Example:<\/em> mouth+ful=mouthful<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the base word ends in two consonants, add a vowel suffix.<\/p>\n

Example<\/em>: resident+ial=residential<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the base word ends in a single Y, change the Y to an I before adding the suffix.<\/p>\n

(This rule applies to both consonant suffixes and vowel suffixes.)<\/p>\n

Example:<\/em> silly+ness=silliness<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
