In the programme we look at the difference between the words 'fragment' and 'fragmentation'.
You might say: "Well the difference is simple: it's just those five letters 'ation' at the end."
And you would be right. Those five letters are a 'suffix' - something we add on to the end of a word to make a new word.
Find out what the suffix 'ation' does, and learn a few other words which end in those letters.
