What does the suffix re?

The suffix "-re" is a bit tricky because it's not a standalone suffix, but rather a part of a larger suffix.

Here's the breakdown:

* -er/-er: This is a common suffix used to form nouns from verbs, indicating someone or something that performs an action.

* Examples: "bake" -> "baker", "teach" -> "teacher", "write" -> "writer"

* -ure: This is a suffix that forms nouns from verbs, often indicating an action, process, or result.

* Examples: "capture" -> "capture", "exposure" -> "exposure", "pleasure" -> "pleasure"

The "re" in "-er" and "-ure" is actually part of the base verb. It's NOT a separate suffix that has its own meaning.

So, when you see "-er" or "-ure" in a word, think of the base verb, and you can understand its meaning.
