Individually 

Week task

Goals

• Ik herken verschillende prefixes en suffixes en kan deze op de juiste manier toevoegen aan een aantal Engelse woorden. 

Prefixes and suffixes

A prefix is a group of letters placed before the root of a word. For example, the word “unhappy” consists of the prefix “un-” [which means “not”] combined with the root (or stem) word “happy”; the word “unhappy” means “not happy.”

Prefixes and suffixes

Some examples

Prefix	Meaning	Examples
dis-	not, opposite, reverse, away	disagree, disappear
ex	out of, away from, lacking. former	exhale, explosion
mis-	bad, wrong	mislead, mispronounce

Prefixes and suffixes

A suffix is a group of letters placed after the root of a word. For example, the word flavorless consists of the root word “flavor” combined with the suffix “-less” [which means “without”]; the word “flavorless” means “having no flavor.”
