EATING

THE WORDS EATEN AND EATING COME FROM THE SAME WORD EAT.

EAT- IS THE ROOT WORD/BASE WORD BY ADDING THE LETTERS EN AND ING, AT THE END OF THE ROOT WORD. WE GET TWO DIFFERENT WORDS AND THESE ENDINGS ARE CALLED SUFFIXES.

SUFFIXES MODIFY THE ROOT WORDS TO WHICH THEY ARE ADDED.

If the root word ends in –y, the –y is dropped and replaced with –ier. Example:Happy – y = happ + ier = happierLazy – y = laz + ier = lazier.The suffix –ful is used at the end of root word.Example:Help+ ful = helpfulCare + ful = careful

The suffix –less is used at the end of rootword.Example:Help+ less = helplessCare + less = careless
