What is a suffix?
A suffix is a group of letters added on to the end of a word to make a new word with a different meaning.

The suffix -less has been derived from the English word "less" and the literal meaning is "without" or
"lacking". Some meanings are more abstract.
For example the suffix -less can mean "unable to act or be acted on in a specified way".

Often the suffixes -ful and -

less can be found in pairs:
•thought —→ thoughtful :
thoughtless
•help —→ helpful : helpless
•law —→ lawful : lawless
SUFFIX FUL

The suffix -ful has been derived from the English word "full" and the literal meaning is "full of".
Some meanings are can be a little more abstract and it may be harder to understand
the meaning the first time you meet these words.

The suffix -ful is

written with only
one 'l'.

•His addiction ruined his life. He lost everything and eventually became homeless. - Literally

Examples:
