    Suffixes can be added to words to change their meaning or grammatical function in one of two ways: 1. Inflectional suffixes change the grammatical function of a word, such as changing a singular noun to plural or changing a verb tense, but do not change the basic meaning. 2. Derivational suffixes change the meaning of a word by deriving a new word from the original, such as changing "teach" to "teacher" or "care" to "careful." Derivational suffixes can change the part of speech or derive nouns, adjectives, and other parts of speech.

    Suffixes

    A suffix is a group of letters placed at the end of a word to make a new word. A suffix can make a new word in one of two ways: 1. Inflectional (grammatical): for example, changing singular to plural (dog>dogs), or changing present tense to past tense (walk>walked). In this case the asic meaning of the word does not change. 2. Derivational (the new word has a new meaning), !deri"ed# from the original word): for example, teach>teacher or care>careful. Inflectional Suffixes do not change the meaning of the original word. $xample: $"ery day I walk to school. %esterday I walked to school.
