Adjectivizers & Adverbializers

韓Sir 資深英語教師

在英語世界內，把動詞變名詞的後綴(suffixes)叫做"nominalizers" (例："teach"加"er"變"teacher")；把名詞變動詞的後綴或前綴(affixes)稱"verbalizers"(例："class" 加"ify"變"classify")。這一回跟大家談一談"adjectivizers"跟"adverbializers"，前者是把名詞變形容詞的後綴，而後者是把形容詞或名詞變副詞的後綴或前綴。

試把每句前面提供的名詞或形容詞，加上adjectivizer或adverbializer，令其成為文法正確的句子：

例：(nation)A good government can keep good national relations.
