Common Word Endings 2 - Worksheet

Task One of the worksheet presents a word completion exercise designed to help students learn common word endings. The students are provided with the beginnings of twenty words, each missing the final letters. They are tasked with completing these words, which all end with either 'ary', 'ery', or 'ory'. This task is a great way to enhance vocabulary and understanding of word structures. Some examples of the words to be completed include 'libr___', which becomes 'library', and 'machin___', which becomes 'machinery'. This exercise is both educational and engaging, encouraging students to apply their knowledge of word endings to complete each term.

Task Two takes the learning further by using the completed words from Task One in a definition matching activity. Students must use the words they have just worked on to fill in the blanks for various definitions. For instance, they must identify that the definition "a room with a glass roof and walls, attached to a house at one side" corresponds to the word 'conservatory', which they would have formed in Task One. This part of the worksheet not only reinforces the words they have learned but also ensures that students understand the meanings of these words. Additionally, Task Three challenges students to expand their vocabulary even further by researching additional words that end with the same common suffixes 'ary', 'ery', and 'ory', such as 'necessary', 'misery', and 'lavatory'.
