Here they are:
-ious ex: gracious
-ism ex:favoritism
-ive ex:active
-ling ex:duckling
-oid ex:humanoid
-some ex:troublesome
I appreciate all answers. Anyone who can give me 4 examples for all of them will get 10 points. Thanks guys! Have a great Friday!

Conflagration is an out of control burning .. which inserts extra suitable? 8 - good selection :)
