Bonjour à tous,
Les suffixes, ajoutés à un nom, un adjectif, un verbe, un lieu, peuvent former :
un adjectif :
-ful => careful ; -less (privatif) => careless ; -ish (péjoratif) => childish ; -y ou -ly, -like (ressemblance), -able/ible , -al, -some
un nom :
-ness (qualité)=> carelessness ; -er (agent/machine) => employer ; -ee (passif) => employee ; -ing (le fait de), -ment (résultat), -ist (métier), -hood (l'état de), -ship (l'état de), -dom (le domaine de) => kingdom, -ite (habitant de)
Un verbe :
-en (rendre) : stiffen, soften ; -ize : characterize, realize
Un adverbe :
-ly (manière) => carefully; -wise(à la manière de) =>otherwise ; -ward (dans la direction) => Westward

Saurez-vous trouver les suffixes qui vont bien dans les phrases suivantes ?
1. He stalked into the room, very business...; with his pinstripe suit and leather attaché-case.
2. I can't stand living in such a noisy neighbour...; we'll have to move.
3. "Don't you think we ought to go now ?" he remarked sheep...
4. When she was asked to type a letter, she right... protested that she hadn't been engaged as a typ...
5. You should try to turn the lid clock..., it might open.
6. After so many months away from his country, he was at last home... bound.
7. They were struck by the ugly... of the surroundings and found the whole place hate...
8. As he thought... reflected about his future, he slack...(à conjuguer) his pace and event... stopped altogether.
Good luck
