W tym zadaniu tworzyliśmy wyrazy poprzez dodanie suffixów (ang. Suffixes). Dodanie suffixu na końcu wyrazu zmienia jego znaczenie. A oto lista najpopularniejszych suffixów, które dodajemy do rzeczowników:

  • -ence;
  • -ment;

Zaś to jest lista najpopularniejszych suffixów, które dodajemy do przymiotników:

  • -able;
  • -ful;

Warto pamiętać także o wyjątkach w pisowni, np:
