Spelling patterns: the suffix -ful
We use the suffix -ful to make adjectives, but watch out – although the word ‘full’ has been put on the end of ‘hope’, the last l is dropped. Can you complete this table to show how words are changed by adding the suffix-ful? Then find all the words ending -ful above in this wordsearch.
Adding -ves to form the plural
Can you complete this fun mini-crossword with the plurals of these words? Be careful though – you can't just add -s to these words like you normally would to make a word plural.
Adding -s and -es to form the plural
When something is singular, there is one of it. When something is plural there are two or more of it. Usually, we just put an -s on the end of a word to show it is plural. But to make some words plural we need to add -es to the singular word. Can you complete these sentences using the words above in their plural form?
Matching words: the suffix -ness
Can you cut out the -ness words and some sentences which define them and match them up correctly?

The two different ways of spelling this word are for two different meanings. If you’re talking about the place there it’s THERE. If it’s something belonging to someone (e.g. their house) it’s THEIR. Remember the difference by thinking there has the word 'here' in it. See if you can put the correct spelling of their/ there into these sentences.
