๐ Topic Summary
Suffixes are word parts we add to the end of a word to change its meaning. The suffixes -ing, -ed, and -er are super common! Adding -ing usually means something is happening right now (like 'dancing'). Adding -ed often means something already happened (like 'jumped'). And adding -er can mean someone who does something (like 'teacher') or comparing two things.
Let's practice using these suffixes with some fun activities!
๐ค Part A: Vocabulary
Match the word to its definition:
