This Grade 2 suffix worksheet has learners build nine new words by adding -er, -ful, -less, and -ly to base words like help, teach, paint, and care. They write helper, helpful, helpless, quickly, and more. The matching section then connects each word to its part of speech category, pairing teacher with noun, helpful with adjective full of, fearless with adjective without, and quickly with adverb telling how.
