Word Formation: Verb Derivation

Plan

Starter

Show learners the first slide with the two example sentences. Ask them to change the bracketed base words into adjectives by using an appropriate suffix. Allow them to try this independently and to share in small groups before checking together as a whole class. Show the second slide and explain how the suffix changes the word class from verb to adjective.
