definition in your own words:

1.
2.
part of speech (highlight):

• prefix
• suffix
• root

Explanation:

Definition in your own words:

The suffix "-ly" is added to words (usually adjectives) to change their meaning, often to describe how an action is done (making the word an adverb) or to give a quality related to the original word. For example, adding "-ly" to "quick" (adjective) makes "quickly" (adverb) to show the manner of an action.

Write two words that use the suffix correctly:

1. Slowly (formed from the adjective "slow" to describe the manner of doing something at a low speed)
2. Happily (formed from the adjective "happy" to show the manner of being happy)

Part of Speech (highlight):

• suffix (since "-ly" is added at the end of a word to modify its meaning or part of speech, which is the definition of a suffix. A prefix is added at the beginning, and a root is the main part of the word carrying its core meaning, so "-ly" is a suffix)
