Read words that end in -able, -ment, -tion and -ous.

Learn the suffixes

Say each word out loud as you work.

A suffix is a word part added to the end of a base word. Many common suffixes come from Latin. A suffix changes the meaning of the word. Here are four to know: -able means "can be done," -ment means "the act or result of," -tion means "the act of," and -ous means "full of."

Sort the words by the suffix they end with.
