Using the suffix -ation
Hey, will you keep it down?
What? You’ve got something to tell the others?
You’d like to inform them with some very important information?
Suffixes are letters that you add on the end of a word to change its meaning. Adding the suffix ‘ation’ makes a verb a noun.
Oh. For goodness sake. It’s a good job I prepare for moments like these.
When a word ends in ‘ne’, ‘ve’ or ‘re’ >you drop the e before adding the ‘ation’.
Preparation is key.
Now who’s the boss?
