Vocabulary Strategy –Word Structure- Suffixes

Readers can use suffixes to help determine the a word’s meaning.

If a word ends in –ist, it means “one who is an expert in that topic”. Ex: biologist –an expert in biology

The suffix –ive can make a word mean “tending or inclined to do something”. Ex: active – tending to act

If you are not sure about a word, try covering up the suffix with your finger to see what the base word is. This can help you determine the meaning of words.
