Step 2 Presentation
1. Explain the rules
T: Suffixes (-er, -or, -ist) can form nouns for people.
We can add -er, -or and -ist to some words (n./v.) to form nouns for people.
Verb/Noun + Suffix Noun
speak + er speaker
visit + or visitor
tour + ist tourist
2. Offer a tip
Sometimes we need to change the ending of the verb/noun when we add the suffix.
dance dancer
win winner
piano pianist
science scientist
3. Finish Part A
Change the following words into nouns for people by adding the correct suffixes.
4. Offer another tip
加-er, -or, -ist无明显规律可以利用，不过有几个小tips：
er远比or多，如果你实在要猜时，选er吧。
动作的执行者用er，比如reporter，fighter，cleaner。
结尾单个e的单词用er，比如writer，diver。
ate，it，ct结尾的单词通常用or，比如creator，editor，conductor。
5. Change the words in the box into words and categorize them
