Adding the suffix -ise to words
I can turn adjectives and nouns into verbs using the suffix -ise.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- The suffix -ise often turns adjectives and nouns into verbs.
- When the root word ends in a consonant, we often just add the suffix.
- When the root word ends in a ‘y’, we remove the ‘y’ and add the suffix.
- A suffix is a letter or group of letters at the end of a word which creates another word and can change the word class.
- How to spell the curriculum words: probably, occasion and occasionally.
Common misconception
Pupils use the spelling 'ize' to represent the -ise suffix.
Explicitly reference the difference between how the word is spelt and how it is pronounced. In American English, the spelling -ize is used.
