Step 2 Presentation
Explain that a suffix is a letter or a group of letters that we add to the end of a word to form a new word.
eg：n. + -suffix ---adj..
The suffix ‘-ful’ means ‘full of’ or ‘having a quality of’.
The suffix ‘-less’ means ‘without’, ‘not having a quality of’.
We can add ‘-ful’ or ‘-less’ to some nouns to form adjectives.
Step3 Part A
1. Tell students that some nouns can take either suffix , some can only take ‘ –ful’, some can only take ‘-less’ and some others can take neither.
2.Work in pairs to finish Part A on page 30. If students are not sure, they can use a dictionary for help.
3. Check the answers
delightdelightful; endendless; noisenoiseless; wonderwonderful
4. Read the words after the teacher.
5. Not all the nouns can add-ful or –less to form adjectives.
eg: friendly, windy, excited, interesting,…
