Vocabulary: 7 English words that can be suffixes
Suffixes are additions to words that change the original word’s meaning or function. In this lesson, we will look at seven suffixes that are also words on their own, such aslike, phobia, and ware. For example, the word hood means a head covering that is attached to a jacket. But did you know that if you add it at the end of child, the meaning of child and hood change completely? Suffixes can help you be more precise in your language, which is why they are perfect for you to use in your IELTS and TOEFL tests. Add some variety to your writing with this new and more advanced vocabulary.
