  1. The Mysterious Sounds of Suffix -ed Edited for CCS by Ms. Toni Lynn Barto

  2. What is a suffix? • To answer that you need to know what a root or base word is! • Simply put, a root or a base word is a regular word that has a core meaning. • A suffix is a letter or a group of letters added to the end of a word to change how the word is used.

  3. What do you know about –ed? • How does it change a base word? • It changes it to the past tense. • Read these words to find out what sound it makes in each word. shadowed brutalized sauntered hoisted

  4. Take a look at these words to see if you can figure out a pattern for sounds for suffix -ed. • melted burned banded • kissed smelled asked • peeled grilled filmed • seeded drafted licked

  5. Suffix –ed makes these sounds: • /d/ after a voiced sound • /t/ after an unvoiced (or voiceless) sound • /ed/ after the letter t or d

  6. Voiced/Unvoiced! What does that mean? • voiced=vibrates your vocal cords • /l/, /m/, /n/,/b/ • thrilled, trimmed, pinned, rubbed • unvoiced, or voiceless=does not vibrate your vocal cords at all or very much • /s/, /k/, /p/, /f/ • kissed, asked, limped, golfed

  7. What is that RULE again? Prizes if you can remember!!! ____________________________________________ Now! What happens when you have a base or root word that ends in a silent ‘e’? And…you want to add suffix ed? ??????????????????????????????????

  8. E’s Dropping Rule! • Commonly, you drop the final silent “e” on a word when adding a vowel suffix. The suffix –ed is a vowel suffix. Therefore, you will typically drop the final silent “e” on a base word. • Drop the “e” if the suffix starts with a vowel (ed, able, ing, etc.)Keep the “e” if the suffix starts with a consonant (s, ness, less, etc.)

  9. You are not adding a “d”! • Many people think that you are just adding a “d” to the word to make it past tense. • Example: bottle + d = bottled • While it may look like this is what is happening, the truth is that “d” is not a suffix. The suffix being added is –ed. • What happens is the silent “e” drops out, and suffix –ed is attached.

  10. -s, -ed, -ing • Often, these three suffixes attach to the same base words. Can you add each suffix to the following base words? How would you spell each of them? Try it on a piece of scratch paper. • Hint: On words that end in “y”…add -es instead of just –s when you spell it. • bike, wobble, manipulate, steer, deny, charge, hurry, copy, migrate
