A suffix is added to the end of a word. Some examples from English:
Boys, where the suffix -s marks the plural;
He makes, where suffix -s marks the third person singular present tense;
He closed, where the suffix -d marks the past tense.
Your homework is in two parts:
1. Please complete the suffix worksheets.
2. Professions
When a word ends with the suffix '-cian' you can tell that the word is talking about a person and what they do for a living.
e.g. music + cian = musician
politic + cian = politician
mathematics + cian = mathematician
Go onto our wiki and try to add to the list of professions ending with the suffix '-cian'. I'd like every girl to add at least one '-cian' profession. Your spelling test next week will be on those words! Click here to be taken straight to the page.
