Examples of Derivational Suffixes in English

Derivational suffixes, such as -ful, -ation, and -ity, are more numerous than inflections and work in ways that inflec-

tional suffixes do not. Most derivational suffixes in English come from the Latin layer of language. Derivational suffixes

mark or determine part of speech (verb, noun, adjective, adverb) of the suffixed word. Suffixes such as -ment, -ity,

and -tion turn words into nouns; -ful, -ous, and -al turn words into adjectives; -ly turns words into adverbs.
