SUFFIXS

I have difficulty using words with suffix -ment, -ness, -ity, -ance/ence. ism, -cy, -ation/-ication/-sion, and -tion in sentences. I sort of understand how to use them in a setence but I still get confuse since I don't know what articles go with wich. I am aware the article I use depends on th type of suffix I use in a sentence;, however, I wish somone can show how to use these bad boys in sentence form.

Also, there are no rules for choice of suffix, beyond their general meaning (e.g. -ism often means doctrine, practice, etc)-- so you will have to look up in a dictionary and remember which noun suffix goes with which adjective, etc base.
