As you determine the definitions of new words,

look for word parts that you already know and
understand. Consider the word perception found
in the passage. You may already know the word
perceive is a verb that means “to understand.” If
you know that -tion is a noun ending, you can
determine that perception is “the act of
understanding or knowing something.”
Use this strategy to determine the meanings and parts of speech
for the words in the chart below. Begin by determining the part of
speech (noun, verb, adjective). Use suffix patterns to help you.
• nouns often end in -ion/-tion, -ology, -ance or -ence

• adjectives often end in -ic, -ful, -al, -able, -ive, -ous
• adverbs often end in –ly
