In English, the suffix -less means "without." For example, something that is "colorless" is white or transparent; it has no color. Or someone who is "homeless" has no place to live; they are without a home. Some of these words are simple like that, but others are not so obvious - you might be surprised by the definitions of restless and priceless, which we'll learn in this lesson.
Today we'll learn 10 English words that end in -less, with example sentences so you can see how they're used. To practice these words, make sure to download the PDF guide to this lesson because it has a quiz to see if you can use each word in the correct sentence.
