And similarly just as the end of a movie is as important as its beginning a word ending plays an important role in determining its part of speech. Word endings that are added to the main part or root of words are called suffixes. Suffixes are word parts that signal how a word is being used in a sentence. Suffixes often change the part of speech of a word. For example take a look at the word deferment from this chapter s vocabulary list. Deferment is a noun that means a postponement.
