Adding suffixes to words means adding letters at the end of words to form new words. If we add letters like "r", "er", "or" at the end of some words, we get the name of the person doing the activity.
Example:
1. Use \(+\) r \(=\) User (One who uses is called user)
2. Teach \(+\) er \(=\) Teacher (One who teaches is called teacher)
3. Govern \(+\) or \(=\) Governor (One who governs is called governor)
