We’re  learning about …ness and …ment suffixes in phonics next week. Usually, you just add the suffix on to the root word. The exceptions are when the word ends in a y and is more than one syllable long eg happiness or merriment. Argument is another exception as you drop the e from argue.

happy         happiness
sad             sadness
kind            kindness
quiet          quietness
dark           darkness
punish        punishment
enjoy          enjoyment
move           movement
amaze         amazement
measure      measurement
