Well done Jacob!
The words never and her look like they have suffixes but they are tricking you.
The er in these words are just the sound at the end.
We have to look to see if the word has a root word like tall or help. They have to be a full word before a suffix can be added to it.
Nev+er – nev is not a full word and
h+er – h is just a letter.
I hope this makes sense!
