Adding the suffix -ly

Suffixes are letters that can be added to the end of words to change their meaning.

'nice' becomes 'nicely'

If the word ends with 'y', the 'y' becomes an 'i', and then add -ly 'happy' becomes 'happily'
If the word ends with 'le', drop the 'le' and add -ly

'terrible' becomes 'terribly'

We are going to add the suffix 'ly' when the word already ends with 'y'.

Let's try together.

happy - happily

angry - angrily

Now it's your turn. Add the suffix 'ly' to these words.
