Learning
Focus: Add the suffix -ation, e.g. decoration.
Let's read together the following pairs of words and clap the syllables:
communicate communication
graduate graduation
educate education
What is the suffix in the second word in each case?
Remember - adding the suffix -ation turns verbs into nouns.
What do you notice about the end of each root word?
communicate
graduate
educate
When the root word ends in -ate, it is more common to use the suffix -ation when changing from a verb to a noun.
Watch how the -ate is dropped before the -ation suffix is added.
celebrate celebration
dictate dictation
operate operation
