[9i]英语中常见的后缀

A suffix is a letter or a group of letters that is usually attached to the end of a word to form a new word, as well as alter the way it functions grammatically.

后缀一般都是附着于单词的尾部，形成一个新的单词。

Depending on whether it is a noun, verb, adjective or adverb, a different suffix would be required. For example, the verb read can be altered to become the noun reader by adding the suffix ­-er. The same verb can also be turned into the adjective readable by adding the suffix –able.

根据单词的词性不同，名次、动词、形容词或者副词，所需要附着的后缀也不同。
