Suffixes
Narrator: I’ve told you, fur doesn’t tan even when you’re in the garden.
A suffix is a letter, or group of letters, that go on the end of a word.
They change the word’s meaning.
‘ing’ can change a noun into a verb, like gardening.
Make yourself useful.
Huh. There you go.
Oh, why do you have to destroy everything?
The suffix ‘ed’ puts things in the past tense.
Oh. Now you’ve destroyed them.
Ah! You know, suffixes sometimes change the original word’s spelling, often doubling the last letter like trapped.
Ha! Gotcha!
