Article (a, an, the) choice does not depend on suffix, but on completely different factors. Also, there are no rules for choice of suffix, beyond their general meaning (e.g. -ism often means doctrine, practice, etc)-- so you will have to look up in a dictionary and remember which noun suffix goes with which adjective, etc base.</description></item><item><title>SUFFIXS</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/Suffixs/zrnhq/post.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Apr 2009 02:08:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:421497</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/Suffixs/zrnhq/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-421497.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>I have difficulty using words with suffix  -ment, -ness, -ity, -ance/ence. ism, -cy, -ation/-ication/-sion, and -tion  in sentences. I sort of understand how to use them in a setence but I still get confuse since I don't know what articles go with wich. I am aware the article I use depends on th type of suffix I use in a sentence;, however, I wish somone can show how to use these bad boys in sentence form.</description></item></channel></rss>
