Suffixes

As you may recall, affixes are word parts that are added to words and which change the meaning of the word they are added to. Prefixes are added to the front of words and suffixes are attached to the end of words. One very commonly used suffix is -ful. It means "full of".


	careful			beautiful		skillful

	helpful			cheerful		wonderful

	colorful		remorseful		plentiful

	useful			delightful		joyful

Here are the meanings of some of these words:

	careful 	= 	full of care

	cheerful 	= 	full of cheer

	joyful 		=	full of joy

	useful		=	full of use

	beautiful	=	full of beauty
