The suffix -ly
Well, what a nice game you’ve invented.
You know, why can’t you just play nicely? Honestly.
Suffixes are letters you can add to the end of words to change their meanings.
The suffix ‘ly’ is used to describe a verb.
What? Oh, I am not happy.
Sometimes, adding ‘ly’ changes the original word’s spelling, like when a word ends in a y.
The y turns into an i first.
I mean, can you not just all play happily?
Oh, you guys look terrible!
When a word ends in ‘le’, the ‘le’ becomes ‘ly’.
That’ll teach you for behaving terribly.
