Let me work through this suffix worksheet step by step.
The task is to match words from the list with appropriate suffixes from the wheel: -ness, -ment, -ful, -ly, -ity, -less, -ship, -ous
Let me go through each word and find which suffixes can be added:
Correct:
- Correct + ness = correctness ✓
- Correct + ly = correctly ✓
Bad:
- Bad + ly = badly ✓
Friend:
- Friend + ship = friendship ✓
- Friend + ly = friendly ✓
Joy:
- Joy + ful = joyful ✓
- Joy + ous = joyous ✓
Religion:
- Religion + ous = religious ✓
Ridicule:
- Ridicule + ous = ridiculous ✓
Town:
- Town + s = towns (not a suffix from the wheel)
- No clear match from the given suffixes
Lord:
- Lord + ship = lordship ✓
Point:
- Point + less = pointless ✓
Time:
- Time + ly = timely ✓
- Time + less = timeless ✓
Meaning:
- Meaning + ful = meaningful ✓
- Meaning + less = meaningless ✓
Love:
- Love + ly = lovely ✓
- Love + less = loveless ✓
Hard:
- Hard + ly = hardly ✓
- Hard + ship = hardship ✓
Fear:
- Fear + less = fearless ✓
Justice:
- Justice + ly = justly (but we have "justice" not "just")
- Actually, justice doesn't take these suffixes well
- Wait - let me reconsider...
Bold:
- Bold + ly = boldly ✓
- Bold + ness = boldness ✓
Let me verify my answers more carefully:
1. Correct → correctness, correctly
2. Bad → badly
3. Friend → friendship, friendly
4. Joy → joyful, joyous
5. Religion → religious
6. Ridicule → ridiculous
7. Town → (no good match)
8. Lord → lordship
9. Point → pointless
10. Time → timely, timeless
11. Meaning → meaningful, meaningless
12. Love → lovely, loveless
13. Hard → hardly, hardship
14. Fear → fearless
15. Justice → (difficult - maybe no match?)
16. Bold → boldly, boldness
For "Justice" - I don't see an obvious suffix match from the wheel. Let me think... justice-ity? No. Justice-ness? No. It might not have a match, or perhaps it's meant to stay as is.
Actually, looking again at the wheel suffixes: -ness, -ment, -ful, -ly, -ity, -less, -ship, -ous
Final Answer:
Here are the words with their matching suffixes:
Correct: correctness, correctly
Bad: badly
Friend: friendship, friendly
Joy: joyful, joyous
Religion: religious
Ridicule: ridiculous
Lord: lordship
Point: pointless
Time: timely, timeless
Meaning: meaningful, meaningless
Love: lovely, loveless
Hard: hardly, hardship
Fear: fearless
Bold: boldly, boldness
(Town and Justice don't have clear matches with the given suffixes)
