Definition of Suffixes
Suffixes
According to Aronoff (2011:270) Suffix is a group of letters added to the end of base word to make a new word, adding a suffix changes the word meaning, It also change the words part of speech or tense. Suffix is also categorized as bound morpheme. A suffix can make a new word in both derivational and inflectional.
2.1.1 Derivational
According to Aronoff (2011: 262) derivational is the creation of a new lexeme from one or more other lexemes through the application of some morphological process, such as afixation and compounding. Also called lexeme formation and word formation. Derivation contrasts with inflection. Derivational is type of suffixes that change the meaning of a word in to a new meaning or it is "derived" from the root / the original from: for example, teach → teacher or care → careful. With derivational suffixes, the new word not only has a new meaning, but also usually has a different part of speech. There are so many kinds of derivational suffixes. Here are some of the more common ones in English:

2.2.2 Inflectional
According to Aronoff (2011:263) Inflectional is the formation of grammatical forms of a single lexeme. Is, are and being are examples of inflected forms of the lexeme BE. Inflectional (grammatical) is type of suffixes that do not change the meaning of the root/original word. For example, changing singular to plural (dog → dogs), or changing present tense to past tense (walk → walked). In this case, the basic meaning of the word does not change because the suffix is added simply for grammatical "correctness". Look at these examples
| Suffix | Gramatical change | Example | |
| Original word | Suffixed word | ||
| -s | Plural | | |
| -en | | | |
| -s | | | |
| -ed | | | |
| -en | | | |
| -ing | | | |
| -er | | | |
| -est | | | |
