Nowadays, English is used in the world as the global language. There are
more and more people learning it. In the process of learning English, there are
many problems facing learners. One of those problems is associated with
affixes especially suffixes.
Firstly, English is an inflectional language in which words are formed by
affixes. For English learners, affixes especially suffixes usually cause
confusions. In order to have deep understanding and avoid confusion, suffix
researching is very necessary.
Secondly, the textbook for Haiphong Private University‟s non-majors namely
“Solutions – pre-intermediate” by Tim Falla and Paul A Davies (2007), like
any other text books includes a great number of texts using nouns formed by
suffixes. The students of English levels 3-4 usually get trouble when they use
this textbook. It is also motivating for me to fulfill this graduation paper.
