INTRODUCTION
Language is communication tool that used for interaction with others and bring people to society.It also used to express many ideas, thought, expressed what they want to convey, and describe many things.It is not only a vocal system of communication, which speech as the medium but also can be expressed in writing in order to understand easily what speakers or writers conveying in whole meaning and in right context to the listeners or readers.(Todd, 1987) argued that the process of speech involves associating sounds with meaning, or sometimes can be meaning with sounds that can recognize from the tone of voice.Meanwhile, the association of a meaning (and sometimes sounds) with a sign or a visual symbol are involved in writing language competence.The contextual meaning of written language can recognize from the structural organization of text or grammatical that can be obtained from the rules of grammar at various levels.Morphology is one of those various levels in linguistic that sometimes referred to in a larger sense as word formation (Leiber, 2009) Beside, Todd (1987) states that it is the branch of linguistics.It defined as the study of morphems, which are the smallest sigificants units of grammar.One word can contains of several morphemes, as well as they ccontains of one or more syllables.
The example of morphemes: Dogs Dog (one morpheme) Walked Walk + ed ( two morphemes) Morphemes also divided into two kinds, there are free morphemes and bound morpehemes.Free morpheme is a morpheme which can meaningfully occur alone or alternatively, a root such as at, cat, bag, dog, walk, and fun (Wardaugh, 1974) while bound morpheme is a morpheme that must co-occur with at least one other morpheme such as memorize that composed of a morpheme memory and a bound morpheme ize.Another example of bound morpheme is books that composed of free morpheme book and a bound morpheme s.In other hand, morphemes combine in certain patterns.Book and s combine to form books, and memory and ize combine to form memorize.The s and ize are known as affixes, which are part of words an additional element placed at the beginning or end of a root, stem, or word that never exists as words before, and always attached to some other morpheme.The affixes consist of prefixes and suffixes.Todd (1987) states that prefixes are those precede words, such as "un-", "re", and "dis-".whlilesuffixes are those like "-ment" and "-ion" are follow the free morphemes.
Furthermore, Wardaugh (1974) also pointed out that not all affixes are similar in the effects they have on stems to which they are affixed, but it can be inflectional or derivational in nature.Inflectional affixes are one type of grammatical morpheme that marked by suffixes and indicates certain grammatical properties (Jampawan, 2014).Inflectional suffixes change the form of a word without changing its category or its meaning as in dogs, the suffix "-s" is added to the noun dog to indicate a plural meaning.Another meaning in inflectional morpheme can be "possessive", "past tense", or "feminine" that used to define a part of speech class in the language.The suffixes usually used in inflectional are suffix -ed, -s, -er,est, and -ing.Meanwhile, derivational affixes may be prefixes or suffixes that create a new word that is derived from the base word but has a different meaning, as adding "-less" to color creates colorless (without color), a word related to color but different in meaning.It also change part of speech classes of words such as changing words from noun become verbs, from verb to adjective or adverb, etc. for example the noun adult can be extended to adulthood (state of being an adult) or the adjective quick can be extended to quickly (to make more quick) to form adverb.
Based on background above, the writers were interested to give contribution in understanding affixation, by focused to analyzing the suffixes used in the one article of daily online newspaper "The Jakarta Post" since newspaper is one of the mass media that most widely read, contains articles about many things and easy to access.

Problem of the Study
The problem created in this study is: what is the most frequently used suffix in the article of The Jakarta Post edition 4 th of March 2019?

Objective of the Study
The objective of this study is to find out the most frequently used suffix in the article of The Jakarta Post.

METHOD
In this study, the writers used qualitative as the method and descriptive as the design since analyzing the data for description and themes using text analysis and interpreting the larger meaning of the findings picture (Creswell, 2012).Instrument of this study is one article from online newspaper The Jakarta Post entitled "British Company to invest $200m in West Javawaste-fuel plants" that published on 4 th of March 2019, while the data collecting technique used is documentation by reading and analyzing the whole article, gathering the words consist of derivational suffixes or inflectional suffixes and then counting the data to determining the the most frequently used suffix.

Results
The following are suffixes found in the article of The Jakarta Post entittled "British Company to Invest $200m in West Java waste-to-fuel Plants" editionof 4 th March 2019:

Inflectional Suffixes
Inflectional suffixes refers to word formation that does not change category and does not create new meaning, but frequently change grammatical function such as number, degree, and tenses.The inflectional suffixes found in the article are suffix -s, -ed, -er, and -ing.suffix -able, -ant, -ate, -ation, -ition, -in, -or, -ship, and -ty with each suffix consist of 1 data.The other forms of derivational suffixes found are 5% suffix -ion (4 data), 5% suffix -ly (4 data), 3% suffix -ment (2 data), and 3% suffix -y (2 data).
These results of analysis were certainly different from similar analyzes carried out by previous authors since in this study the writers try to found out the using of suffixes as general; inflectional or derivational, while the previous authors only focus their research on the used of derivational suffixes.For instance, the analysis that conducted by Mahendra, Indrawati, & Aryawibawa (2017) entitled "Derivational English Suffixes With Reference To the Jakarta Post" with the result showed four forms of derivational suffixes has been used, there are nominal, verbal, adjectival, and adverbial suffix.Similarly, Arbain (2017) in his analysis entitled "Derivations in Headline Articles of The Jakarta Post Newspaper" found 167 derived words, some with the addition of suffix (derivational suffix), and the rests with the addition of prefix and suffix or two or more different suffixes (multiple derivation).

CONCLUSION
Based on the problem statement, result, and discussion described previously the writers concluded that the most frequently used suffix in the article of The Jakarta Post online newspaper entitled "British Company to Invest $200m in West Java waste-to-fuel Plants" published on 4 th of March 2019 is inflectional suffixes with the form of suffix -s.It means, the article was dominated by nouns rather than verbs, adjectives or so on since the suffix -s indicates plural or possessive that certainly attached to noun.It also just derived the grammatical function, not the meaning or its part of speech.In addition, the results of this study have implications for teaching learning in the classroom, especially in teaching suffixes and grammar.To develop students' understanding in suffixes, students are invited to jointly analyze the use and meaning of suffix -s from the article of online newspaper, magazine, textbooks, or other source.Meanwhile for understanding the grammar, students' are asked to determine the part of speech of a word before and after added by suffix -s or another suffixes.
