Suffix -Ness

Yesterday I presented a suffix which is one of the suffixes presented in my book entitled The ASVAB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide.  As an ASVAB tutor, I see how valuable it is for my students to know the Latin and Greek prefixes, root words, and suffixes.  I focus very heavily on providing help to my students in Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge, but I do not lose sight of the importance of knowing vocabulary.  Did you know what the suffix -ness means?

-ness means state or being

How did you do?
