Of course! Let's solve the worksheet step by step.

---

Part 1: Match each word to the correct suffix

You need to add one of these suffixes — `-ful`, `-less`, or `-ly` — to each base word to make a real, correct word.

Let’s look at each word:

- success → Add -ful → successful
- *Meaning:* Having achieved something; achieving good results.
- ✔ So, success matches with ful

- speech → Add -less → speechless
- *Meaning:* Unable to speak, often from shock or emotion.
- ✔ So, speech matches with less

- swift → Add -ly → swiftly
- *Meaning:* In a quick or fast manner (adverb form).
- ✔ So, swift matches with ly

Part 2: Circle the correct spelling

You’re given pairs of words — one is spelled correctly, the other is not. You need to circle the correct one.

Let’s go through them:

1. lazyly vs. lazily
- The correct adverb form of “lazy” is lazily.
- ✔ Circle: lazily

2. plentiful vs. plentyful
- “Plentiful” means having a lot of something. “Plentyful” is not a real word.
- ✔ Circle: plentiful

3. penniless vs. pennyless
- “Penniless” means having no money. “Pennyless” is not a standard word.
- ✔ Circle: penniless

4. angryly vs. angrily
- The correct adverb form of “angry” is angrily.
- ✔ Circle: angrily

✔ Final Answers:

Part 1: Matching
- success → ful
- speech → less
- swift → ly

Part 2: Correct Spellings (Circle These)
- lazily
- plentiful

- angrily

This worksheet helps you understand how suffixes change the meaning and part of speech of words — for example:
- `-ful` often means “full of” (e.g., successful = full of success)
- `-less` means “without” (e.g., penniless = without pennies/money)
- `-ly` often turns adjectives into adverbs (e.g., swiftly, lazily)

Great job practicing suffixes! 🎉
