❗️We rarely use "whom" in modern English. We still use it after prepositions to, by, with, after, on etc.
For example, The girl to whom you were speaking is Nigerian.

🔅 They can also change the grammatical form of a word.
For instance, the word friend is a noun. But when the suffix -ly is added to it, it becomes and adjective: friendly.

🔅 There are fewer common suffixes than there are common prefixes, and learning common suffixes will help you figure out more complex vocabulary words.


🔅 The word suffix derives from the ancient Latin sub, meaning subordinately and figere, meaning to fix. It entered English in the late 18th century from the modern Latin suffixum.


🔰 Some common suffixes are:
