PRAXIS 5007- TEST QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSWhich TWO of the following are functions of a suffix when it is added to a verb?

(E) To describe the verb's relationship with other words in a sentence Correct Ans-(A) To
alter the tense of the verb
(C) To change the verb to a different part of speech
(A) is correct because a suffix is a group of letters placed after the root of a word in order to
change its tense.
(C) is correct because adding certain suffixes such as "-ment" or "-ion" to a root word can

noun "excitement," and adding "- ion" to the verb "locate" creates the noun "location."
