A Day on Cheung Chau

Susan took her grandpa to Cheung Chau on his birthday. By sharing the photos they took on that day, learners identify the use of suffixes in the photo captions and play riddles games focusing on suffixes -er, -or, -ist, -ian and -(r)ess.

Learners understand how to use suffixes to form words to refer to people or objects that do something. They also realise that the spelling of root words can sometimes be modified when suffixes are added.
