Look at these words from the text on page 7 Argument•concentration•difference The parts of the word in bold are suffixes.Suffixes change the type of word,e.g.from an adjective or a verb to a noun.

Yes, that's correct! Suffixes are added to the end of root words to alter their meaning and often change their grammatical function. Here are the words you provided, broken down by suffix:

1. Argument

   • Root: "Argue" (verb)
   • Suffix: "-ment" (which turns a verb into a noun, indicating the result of the action, in this case, the result of arguing)

2. Concentration

   • Root: "Concentrate" (verb)
   • Suffix: "-tion" (which transforms a verb into a noun, denoting the action or process of concentrating)

3. Difference

   • Root: "Differ" (verb)
   • Suffix: "-ence" (which converts a verb into a noun, indicating the state or quality of differing)

These transformations help in creating various forms of words that serve different functions in sentences. If you have more examples or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
