What is the likely purpose of having students write a sentence using the same suffix and draw a picture?

• A. To memorize vocabulary lists
• B. To practice using English suffix endings in context
• C. To test reading speed
• D. To evaluate handwriting

Answer: (B)

The main idea is applying knowledge of suffix endings in context. Writing a sentence that uses the same suffix shows you can apply the rule to real language, not just recognize a suffix in isolation. Adding a drawing helps connect that word form to its meaning, which strengthens understanding for English learners by linking form and message visually. This kind of activity blends form (the suffix) with meaning (the sentence and the picture), promoting both accuracy and retention in a meaningful task.

So, it focuses on using suffix endings in context, not simply memorizing lists, speed, or handwriting.
