Today's lesson is going to be a bit of a mix of grammar, and vocab, and writing - all of

the skills you need together because we're going to be looking at suffixes; and more

specifically, we're going to be looking at seven words that can also be used as a suffix.

A "suffix" is a piece of something that you add to the end of a word.

Now, most of you might be familiar, for example, with if I add "ly" to the end of an adjective,

I can change it into an adverb; or if I add "ment" to the end of a word, I make it a noun.

Now, these suffixes change words in terms of parts of speech.

I change a verb to a noun or a noun to a verb, etc.

What these do... what these specific suffixes do is they change the meaning of a word completely.

Now, the reason it's important to know these and the reason I mentioned writing is because

these are not used enough by writers; especially those of you taking tests, like IELTS, TOEFL,

CAE, etc. - you need to have your vocabulary range.

That's one of the things they're scoring you on.

You want to have nice words, but nice words don't have to be big words; they just have

And a lot of people do not use words that include these suffixes, and they're very useful

So, when I add "hood" to the end of a word, for example... now, the word "hood" by itself,

if you have a hoodie, if you have a sweatshirt with a hood that goes over your head; or if

you think about in your kitchen you have a... you have your stove, and above it you have

a hood with a fan to take all the steam and oil, or whatever you're cooking - the smells.

Your car, the front of your car, over your engine has a hood.

So, think of a "hood" as covering everything.

But as a suffix, it's basically the state, condition, or quality of something.

So, now, for example, when I speak of "childhood", I'm talking about the whole time of being

a child and everything that is included in that.

So, "childhood" includes going to school and having friends, and playing outside, and having

toys, and having... playing video games, and innocence.

All of the ideas we think of: "What is a child?" are included in the childhood; so it's a period

The opposite: "adulthood" - the time of being an adult; of having a job, and having a family,

A "neighbourhood" is the area where all the people are neighbours; where all the neighbours

live together and share a small community.

The "likelihood" means the chance of something being likely; the chance of it being... or

So, the likelihood of this guy winning the presidency is very low.

But turns out that the likelihood was not as low as everybody expected, for example.

Now, the reason I mentioned these: I've seen so many IELTS and TOEFL essays that do not

People say: "Oh, the time that a person is a child... the time a person is a child",

You have seven words when you could have said all of that with one word.

If you can use one word, don't use seven words.

So now we're talking about coherence and cohesion, which includes brevity.

These suffixes give you a lot of range in terms of vocabulary.

If you Google: "Words that end in 'hood'", you'll see a whole bunch of them.

So, "like" has many meanings, but the one we're going to look at is similar to; so something

But I don't have to separate it into a whole sentence; I can use this as a suffix.

I can talk about things, attitudes, behaviours, but you have to be a little bit careful.

Now, if somebody is "childlike" means he is like a child.

It doesn't mean that he's small or whatever; it means he behaves like a child or he thinks

So, we're not talking about physical; we're talking about mental or even personality-wise.

And we're going to talk about "wise" in a second.

Everybody has to dress in a businesslike manner; everybody has to come with a businesslike

attitude - they have to be like a business.

They have to act or their attitude has to be business; not casual.

I want everybody to be very businesslike when they meet clients.

Don't pretend like they're your best friends; be businesslike, get the job done, move on.

Now, if you want to compare physical things, right?

So, everybody knows what a sweet potato is - okay, or a yam.

So, it's similar to a potato, but it's not a potato.

It's different, but very similar; starchy, you can bake it, you can eat it with sour

So, all of these things - again, Google: "Words that end in 'like'", you'll have a whole list

And again, you don't want to say something in five words that you could say in one.
