Question

What happens when you add -tion to the word complete?

Answer 1

Adding the suffix '-tion' to the verb 'complete' forms the noun 'completion', referring to the act or process of completing something.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you add the suffix -tion to the word complete, you form the noun completion. The addition of -tion changes the verb 'complete' into a noun that refers to the act or process of completing something. Like in mathematics, where the order of numbers in addition does not affect the result (A + B = B + A), in English morphology, adding a suffix to a word base often forms a new word without changing the sequence of the original letters.

Answer 2

a. It changes a verb into a noun

Step-by-step explanation:

When you add -tion to the word "complete", it changes a verb into a noun.

-tion is a suffix that forms abstract nouns from verbs or even from word stems that may not be identical with verbs - it maybe expressing action, state or meaning.

Suffixes are known to be a letter or group of letters which are added to word endings in order to change their meanings or functions. They are affixes which are placed after word stems.

Option A is the correct answer.
