YEAR 5 HOMEWORK Subject: English Focus: Grammar Group: Green/Red Date out: 21.11.16 Date in: 28.11.16 Suffix ‘tion’, ‘cian’ A suffix is a letter or letters added to the end of a word to make another word. Nouns are ‘naming’ words (boy, dog, chair). Verbs are ‘doing’ words or actions (run, skip, jump, shout). Adjectives are ‘describing’ words (big, cool, old). Adding ‘tion’ or ‘cian’ to a verb or adjective makes a noun: ‘educate’ (verb), ‘education’ (noun). The suffix ‘tion’ and ‘cian’ sound like ‘shun’. The suffix ‘tion’ is far more common than the suffix ‘cian’. (list 4:9) Spelling tip: Practise 1 Practise 2 Can spell word (copy into space) (fold and hide) (check and correct) If the root verb ends in ‘t’ the suffix ‘ion’ forms ‘tion’ (invent – invention). action invention direction injection eruption Spelling tip: A long ‘a’ sound is always followed by ‘tion’. For words ending ‘te’, drop the ‘e’ to add ‘ion’. adoration relation inspiration rotation duration Spelling tip: magician electrician optician politician ‘cian’ is used where base words end in ‘c’ or ‘cs’ and often relate to jobs/occupations. Subject: English Focus: Grammar Group: Yellow Date out: 21.11.16 Date in: 28.11.16 YEAR 5 HOMEWORK Learn how to pluralise words ending in the vowel ‘o’ Rule: If a word ends in “o” and the letter before it is a vowel, then you add an “s” to make it plural. If the word ends in an "o" and the letter before it is a consonant, you add an "es" to make it plural. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule (piano = pianos). Also, some words have two spellings that are correct (buffaloes and buffalos). One radio One tomato Two radios Two tomatoes Which ending do the following words have when you make them plural? Write the new word on the line. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

James has ten radios in his bedroom. Look up any words you do not know the meaning of in a dictionary! Suffix ‘able’, ‘ible’ The word endings ‘able’ and ‘ible’ can sound similar and are often confused. A suffix is a letter or letters added to the end of a word to make another word. The suffixes ‘able/ible’ mean ‘able to’ or ‘capable of’ and form adjectives from verbs. The suffix ‘able’ is much more common than ‘ible’. Verbs are doing or action words (run, jump, shout). Adjectives are describing words (tall, thin, old). (list 5:9) Spelling tip: Practise 1 Practise 2 Can spell word (copy into space) (fold and hide) (check and correct) If the root word ends in ‘e’ it is often dropped before adding the suffix ‘able’ (adore/adorable). valuable desirable advisable deplorable curable Spelling tip: The suffix ‘able’ often leaves a recognisable root when dropped (comfortable/comfort). attainable agreeable fixable comfortable adjustable Spelling tip: fallible sensible visible possible ‘ible’ is much less common than ‘able’. Dropping the suffix often only leaves a stem (visible/vis).
