SUFFIXES --> -MENT / -NESS

Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin everyone. Happy Thursday. I hope your day is going well.

Today, once again, we look at two more common English suffixes. 

Today's 1st suffix is: -MENT

Meaning -MENT: The result or product of an action.

Example 1: 
After hours of deliberation, they finally reached an agreement.

An AGREEMENT is the result of the action of agreeing.  

Example 2:
Personal development is important because it helps you grow and improve your skills.

DEVELOPMENT is the result of the action of developing.  

Today's 2nd suffix is: -NESS

Meaning -NESS: State or quality.

Example 3:
Small acts of kindness, like smiling or helping someone, can have a powerful impact in the world.  

As always, I encourage you to write some sentences with some words that use these suffixes. For example, you can add the suffix -NESS to HAPPY, SAD, BRIGHT, DARK, WEAK or FAIR. Or you can add the suffix -MENT to words like ACHIEVE, IMPROVE, EXCITE, MANAGE and ENTERTAIN.

You can post your sentences on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter/X) and we will give you feedback about your sentences ASAP. I hope you write some sentences, since I know it will help you to improve your English.

Enjoy the rest of your day. We'll be back tomorrow with our last lesson of the week.

All the best!
