English Suffixes | Learn English Vocabulary

In this English vocabulary lesson, you will learn the most common English suffixes.

A suffix is a specific group of letters at the end of a word. It often indicates part of the meaning of the whole word. Knowing the most common suffixes will help you increase your English vocabulary.

There are 2 types of English suffix:

1)Inflectional suffixes are grammatical suffixes. They change the form of a word (example making a plural from a singular) but the basic meaning of the word does not change.

2)Derivational suffixes transform a word from one type of word (part of speech) to another, example from a verb to a noun. Derivational suffixes change the basic meaning of the word. I show you the most common ones in this video.

I advise you to use a good dictionary to check the meaning of all new vocabulary and to see the full list of all the English suffixes.

The accent in this video lesson is a British English accent.

    Well. Thanks for the lesson Sir . but What I was thinking when watching this .. is that the terms you chose are a bit difficult for someone who’s learning English for the first time .. it’s good to ask to use dictionary but , Still the examples should contain the simplest and the most usable words . This is just my opinion . Thanks a lot ! And btw Ikd why I heard a frensh accent in your voice 😀

  5. Nikolay West on January 13, 2021 at 8:44 pm

    What about "embarrassed" Why I can’t say "embarrassness" as condition of being embarrassed it would be quite logical. Why we should say embarrassment in place of embarrassness? Is there any explanation rule for that?

    1) It would be great if the government legalizes marijuana
    2) To tell the truth, black people over the world are totally pissed me off and it’s not the point in racism. It’s all because of their foolish annoying idea that everyone white is a racist but it’s not and black people try to point it out every single day so that’s really pissed me off.
    3) Every time I try to be more peaceful to unfamiliar people but it’s not that easy to do
