Description

This resource focuses on teaching how the suffix '-ment' transforms verbs into nouns that describe the results of actions. Through examples and practical exercises, learners will comprehend the conversion process, such as turning 'agree' into 'agreement.' The material includes a matching activity between verbs and their corresponding noun forms, visual representation tasks, and detective-style identification of base verbs. Additionally, it encourages independent practice where students create new nouns from given verbs and write sentences that reflect their understanding of the concept. The goal is to ensure that by the end of the activity, learners can accurately explain and utilize the suffix -ment in various contexts.
