Bleh :o

Well done, you've finished the quiz.
You scored 10/10 [100.0%] so why not print out your certificate?

1: Some words can have more than one suffix.
You said: true
Well done! This statement is true. A word like 'friendliness' has 2 suffixes, 'ly' and 'ness': 'friend' + 'ly' + 'ness' = 'friendliness'.
2: When the suffix 'y' is added to the word 'run', what is the correct spelling?
You said: runny
Excellent answer! The correct spelling is 'runny'. When you add 'y' to a word with one syllable and one vowel before the final consonant, you need to double the consonant.
3: When the suffix 'y' is added to the word 'noise', what is the correct spelling?
You said: noisy
Well done! When you add 'y' to 'noise', the 'e' is dropped so 'noisy' is correct.
4: When the suffix 'ness' is added to the word 'happy', what is the correct spelling?
You said: happiness
Good choice! When you add 'ness' to a word ending in 'y', the 'y' changes to 'i': 'happy' + 'ness' = 'happiness'.
5: When the suffix 'er' is added to the word 'happy', what is the correct spelling?
You said: happier
Great answer! When you add 'er' to a word ending in 'y', the 'y' changes to 'i': 'happy' + 'er' = 'happier'.
6: The 'shun' sound needs to be added to the word 'pollute'. Which is the right spelling?
You said: pollution
Well done! The correct spelling is 'pollution'. The suffix 'tion' is used with the root word 'pollute'.
7: The 'shun' sound needs to be added to the word 'beauty'. What is the right spelling?
You said: beautician
Well done, 'beautician' is correct! The 'y' changes to 'i' and 'cian' is the suffix which is often used for people's jobs.
8: If you add the suffix 'ing' to the word 'fit', what is the correct spelling?
You said: fitting
Well done! When you add 'ing' to a word with one syllable, and one vowel before the final consonant, you double the consonant: 'fit' + 'ing' = 'fitting'.
9: When you add the suffix 'est' to the word 'ugly', what is the correct spelling?
You said: ugliest
Brilliant! When you add 'est' to a word ending in 'y', the 'y' changes to an 'i' so 'ugly' + 'est' = 'ugliest'.
10: How many suffixes does the word 'peaceful' have?
You said: 1
Well done! The only suffix in the word 'peaceful' is 'ful'.
