About this test list: Words ending in er

When the schwa sound appears at the end of a word, it is sometimes spelled with the letters er. The schwa sound is a neutral vowel sound, like a soft uh sound.

In English, we often add the suffix er to a word to describe a person who or thing that performs a particular action. For example, a teacher is someone who teaches, and a baker is someone who bakes.

This pattern is also used to form adjectives that are used to compare two things based on a particular quality. For instance, bigger is used to describe something that is a larger size than something else.
