I always tell my students that learning word forms is
important. If you learn the noun of an
adjective, the meanings of the two words are closely related. So, today, I am going to start doing my best
to help.
Below you will find 20 adjectives and their nouns. In this case, all of the nouns end with the
same suffix --ness. It should be easy to
remember them. Good luck (because you
never know when there will be a test).
If there are words that you do not know, I suggest looking in the
dictionary.
