Hello everyone. Welcome to today's lesson.
- 00:05 - 00:08
Today we will have a spelling lesson.
- 00:08 - 00:14
We will learn how to spell properly words that end with suffixes,
- 00:15 - 00:23
eyes and ends and based in addition towards that end with the suffix is us, us or
- 00:24 - 00:28
us. They're all pronounced the same way, but the spelling
- 00:28 - 00:30
is different.
- 00:33 - 00:34
Let's begin with words
- 00:35 - 00:37
that end with the suffix e
- 00:38 - 00:40
a, N c E N s
- 00:40 - 00:42
and EST.
- 00:46 - 00:47
If you take a look
- 00:48 - 00:50
and the first block
- 00:51 - 00:55
on the left, you will find words that end with the suffix e.
- 00:56 - 00:57
They are pronounced as follow
- 00:58 - 01:02
Sees recognise realise,
- 01:03 - 01:12
Maximise, minimise, organise, emphasise criticise Apologise.
- 01:12 - 01:13
Yes,
- 01:13 - 01:15
these words
- 01:16 - 01:18
and with I c e
- 01:18 - 01:19
mhm
- 01:20 - 01:21
and
- 01:21 - 01:25
they make the word the root word
- 01:26 - 01:28
they turn it into a verb.
- 01:28 - 01:30
So, for example,
- 01:30 - 01:32
recognise
- 01:33 - 01:34
is a verb
- 01:35 - 01:37
and the now from recognise is recognition.
- 01:38 - 01:44
The same goes for organised, organised as a verb and organisation
- 01:45 - 01:47
with the suffix shin
- 01:47 - 01:48
is the now
- 01:50 - 01:50
okay
- 01:52 - 01:53
no
- 01:53 - 01:58
and and ends they both are the same suffix. But
- 01:58 - 02:01
when you use them depends on the spelling of the word.
- 02:02 - 02:07
When they're added to the root word, they mean state or quality of being
- 02:10 - 02:11
for example,
- 02:12 - 02:12
Yeah,
- 02:13 - 02:15
if you look at
- 02:17 - 02:19
perform as a board
- 02:20 - 02:21
perform
- 02:22 - 02:25
when you add a N c E,
- 02:27 - 02:29
it becomes performance.
- 02:29 - 02:32
It's the act of doing a perform
- 02:32 - 02:36
or the act of performing performance.
- 02:38 - 02:43
Now, if we add I s t to the word piano
- 02:44 - 02:49
making it piano west here, the I s t
- 02:51 - 02:57
means one who plays this interesting instrument, for example
- 02:57 - 02:59
Pianist,
- 02:59 - 03:00
dentist,
- 03:01 - 03:03
tourists,
- 03:03 - 03:06
journalist, Florist.
- 03:07 - 03:07
Yeah,
- 03:10 - 03:12
Now, Suffolk says,
- 03:12 - 03:14
such as we mentioned earlier,
- 03:14 - 03:18
there are letter or a group of letters that are placed
- 03:18 - 03:21
at the end of the word to create a new word.
- 03:22 - 03:27
The letters or the letter added before the root word is called the prefix.
- 03:31 - 03:32
No,
- 03:32 - 03:34
the suffix is us.
- 03:35 - 03:41
All three are pronounced the same way and their spelling depends on the letter that
- 03:41 - 03:44
comes before the suffix is placed.
- 03:44 - 03:47
Of course, with practise, you get to master the spilling.
- 03:50 - 03:50
No,
- 03:52 - 03:57
when you change or when you add a new word part of suffix.
- 03:57 - 04:01
In our case, you may need to change the spelling of the base word.
- 04:01 - 04:03
For example, mystery
- 04:04 - 04:08
which is spelled m y S t E r y.
- 04:09 - 04:12
If we add the suffix erst to it,
- 04:13 - 04:21
it will become mysterious, which is spelled m y S t e r i O U s.
- 04:21 - 04:25
The y in mystery becomes an eye and then we add
- 04:25 - 04:30
the suffix or you s take a look at the words in
- 04:30 - 04:34
front of you and please try to find the meanings of
- 04:34 - 04:37
the words that you see on the block at the end.
- 04:37 - 04:43
On the right. Courageous, various, vigorous, tremendous
- 04:44 - 04:45
tortuous.
- 04:46 - 04:49
We will talk more about this in class. Thank you.
