Homographs and Inflectional EndingsSlide2
HOMOGRAPHS
Homographs
are words which have the SAME spelling.
(homo = same….graph = write or draw)
Homograph words can be pronounced at least two different ways….and they have different meanings!

the paper. She had a
tear
in her eye.Slide3
Inflectional Endings
When we READ words with suffixes, we often refer to the words as having inflectional endings.
Inflectional endings:
*
change the tense of a verb.
* change a singular noun to a plural noun.
* often change the spelling of the base word.
When we SPELL these same words, we usually refer to these same endings as SUFFIXES.
Inflectional Endings = Suffixes!Slide4
Adding Vowel
S
uffixes
When you add a vowel suffix to a base word, you
MUST
know if the
final syllable of the base word
has a
short
or
long
vowel sound.
DOUBLING RULE:
When you hear a base word with a
short
vowel sound,
double the final consonant
before adding the vowel suffix.
Example: pa
t
+
ing
= pa
tt
ing
He is
patting
the dog on the head.Slide5
“JUST ADD” VOWEL SUFFIX
When we have a base word, and we add a VOWEL suffix…we check the
last 3 letters
of the
base word
.
IF we have
2 consonants in the FINAL position
of the base word, we can “JUST ADD” the vowel suffix!
b
rea
th
+
ing
= breathing bea
ch
+
es
= beachesSlide6
We know that a SUFFIX is a VOWEL SUFFIX if the FIRST letter of the suffix is a vowel.

i
ng

e
r

s
When you add a vowel suffix to a base word with vowel Y in the final position, you must change the Y to i before adding the suffix unless the suffix begins with the letter i.Base Word: library + es = librariesExceptions: hurry + ing = hurrying scurry + ing = scurrying
Changing RuleSlide7
Nouns with Final O
When we have a noun with vowel O in the final position, and we want to change it from a singular noun to a plural noun, we add vowel suffix –
es
.

Plural
