Suffixes and Stressed Syllables

    Answers to Suffix 5

    1st syllable stressed 2nd syllable stressed
    garden + er gardener forget + able forgettable
    limit + ed limited begin + ing beginning
    order + ing ordering occur + ing occurring
    alter + ation alteration omit + ed omitted
    market + ing marketing regret + ful regretful

    I hope you didn't write regrettful for the final example: -ful is a consonant suffix so you don't need to change the base word!
    But regret + ing would have been regretting because -ing is a vowel suffix.
