Add Suffixes: -ment, -ness, -ful, -less, -ly

New words can often be made by adding a suffix to the end of a root word.

for example:

quick + ly = quickly

wonder + ful = wonderful

Sometimes different suffixes can be added to the same root word to make several new words.

for example:

wonderful     wonderment

careful     careless

kindly   kindness
