Word Wise • Word collocation
• Suffixes ‘-tion’, ‘-sion’
We know that a collocation is a series of words (usually two or more) that often go
together.
We often use an adjective and a noun together to make a collocation.
Examples: beautiful city , majestic fort
The highlighted words are adjectives and the circled words are nouns.
A. Look at the pictures and use the correct words from the box to describe the things

One has been done for you.

1. The huge Pichola lake is amazing.
2. Chittorgarh Fort was admired by Ruby.
3. food at the restaurant was enjoyed by all.
4. Many were purchased by Ruby’s
parents. They were handicraft items.
We know that we can form new words by adding groups of letters like -tion and -sion
at the end of some words. These are called suffixes. We usually make changes in the
spellings of the words while doing so.
Examples: organise + tion = organisation
explode + sion = explosion
