Educational worksheet focusing on suffixes "ful" and "less," designed to help students understand and apply these word endings through definitions and matching exercises.

Let's solve this worksheet step by step.

---

Part 1: Write the word next to each definition.

We are given definitions and need to write the correct word using the suffixes -ful (meaning "full of") or -less (meaning "without").

#### Definitions:
1. full of hope → *hopeful*
- "hope" + "ful" = hopeful

2. without taste → *tasteless*
- "taste" + "less" = tasteless

3. without fear → *fearless*
- "fear" + "less" = fearless

4. full of color → *colorful*
- "color" + "ful" = colorful

5. full of pain → *painful*
- "pain" + "ful" = painful

6. without end → *endless*
- "end" + "less" = endless

✔ Completed Table:

| Word | Definition |
|------------|----------------------|
| hopeful | full of hope |
| tasteless | without taste |
| fearless | without fear |
| colorful | full of color |
| painful | full of pain |
| endless | without end |

Part 2: Match the root word to the correct suffix.

We have root words on the left and suffixes (-ful or -less) on the right. We need to match them logically.

#### Root Words:
1. worth → ful → *worthful*? Wait — actually, "worth" + "ful" = "worthy", not "worthful". But in this context, we're likely looking for a word like "worthless".

Wait — let’s analyze carefully:

- worth → commonly used with -less → worthless (without value)
- cheer → cheerful (full of cheer) → so ful
- disgrace → disgraceful (full of disgrace) → ful
- home → homeless (without a home) → less
- success → successful (full of success) → ful
- hat → hatless (without a hat) → less

So matching:

| Root Word | Suffix |
|---------------|--------|
| worth | less |
| cheer | ful |
| disgrace | ful |
| home | less |
| success | ful |
| hat | less |

✔ Correct Matches:

- worth → less
- cheer → ful
- disgrace → ful
- home → less
- success → ful
- hat → less

✔ Final Answer:

#### Part 1:
| Word | Definition |
|------------|----------------------|
| hopeful | full of hope |
| tasteless | without taste |
| fearless | without fear |
| colorful | full of color |
| painful | full of pain |
| endless | without end |

#### Part 2: Matching
- worth → less
- cheer → ful
- disgrace → ful
- home → less
- success → ful
- hat → less

🔍 Explanation:

- The suffix -ful means “full of” → e.g., *helpful*, *cheerful*
- The suffix -less means “without” → e.g., *careless*, *homeless*

We use these meanings to determine which suffix fits each root word based on the definition or logical meaning.

For example:
- hopeful = full of hope ✔
- tasteless = without taste ✔
- fearless = without fear ✔
- etc.

This helps build vocabulary and understanding of how word parts create new meanings.
