They're too tight.} (These shoes are tighter than they should be in order to fit well.)

Read it through. A suffix is a letter or group of letters added at the end of a word. When the suffix **-y** is added to a noun, the noun becomes an adjective which means "like", "full of", or "characterized by" something. When the noun ends with "-e," drop the "-e" before adding "-y." **Example:** {The water was soapy.} (The water was full of soap.) | Noun | Adjective | Noun | Adjective | |---|---|---|---| | cloud | cloud**y** | sun | sunn**y** | | fun | funn**y** | rain | rain**y** | | grease | greas**y** | salt | salt**y** | | ice | ic**y** | snow | snow**y** | | leak | leak**y** | soap | soap**y** | | noise | nois**y** | storm | storm**y** | | oil | oil**y** | water | water**y** | # Source: ST §It's Noisy in the Dining Hall. $DIALOGUE It's Noisy in the Dining Hall ID: l3-s29 INTRO: Read these sentence pairs — first the noun, then the "-y" adjective doing the same job.

It may be very difficult to jack up the car or to loosen the nuts. The spare tire may not have enough air in it. You don't always have the right tools. Sometimes a job that should be easy for you to do is really very difficult. RESPONSE: Title: The Job May Be Harder Than You Think. Topic: jobs. Main idea: A job that looks easy may really be very hard to do. TEMPLATE: When you're driving, watch the speed limit signs. They show different speeds in different places. On the important highways, you can usually go 55 to 65 miles per hour, but sometimes you have to slow down to 45 or 50 m.p.h. Around schools, the speed limit is 20 m.p.h. In most other parts of the city, it's usually 30 or 35 m.p.h. In places that aren't very safe, the speed limit will be lower. RESPONSE: Title: Speed Limits. Topic: speed limits. Main idea: Drivers must watch speed limit signs because they show different speeds in different places. TEMPLATE: Mechanics have important jobs. Most people want to keep their cars in good shape, and they need a mechanic who can help them. They may know how to change the oil and fix some small problems, but they usually can't do everything. When something is wrong with the engine or some other important part of the car, they have to call a mechanic. Often only mechanics can find the problem and use the right tools to fix it. RESPONSE: Title: The Importance of Mechanics. Topic: mechanics. Main idea: Mechanics have important jobs because most people cannot fix major car problems themselves.

Department stores usually have their own credit cards, and many banks have cards, too. People can use them in stores, restaurants, garages, airports, hotels, and many other places. Some people put too much on their charge accounts and aren't able to pay for all of it when the bills come at the end of the month. RESPONSE: Title: The Problem with Credit Cards.
