Prefixes and Suffixes

(Voorvoegsels en Achtervoegsels)

Today's goal

At the end of this  lesson I can correctly form and use prefixes and suffixes

Prefixes + Suffixes

They both change the meaning of the word.

Prefixes are letters you can place before a base(root) word. 

Suffixes are letters that go at the end of a base(root) word.

Well done!

Word formation

In a sentence or text you have to change the form of a word, e.g. from a noun to an adjective, or from a verb to a noun. For example:     The _____ was very nervous. (sing)

You have to complete the sentence with the person noun (singer). You change the verb (sing) into the person noun (singer).

• Nouns often end: -ment, -ion, -ness, -ity.
  
• People nouns often end: -er, -or, -ist, -ian.
  
• Adjectives often end: -able, -ible, -ive, -al, -ic, -ed, -ing.
  
• Some verbs end: -ise, -ate, -en.
  
• Adverbs often end: -ly.

Is the new word negative? If so, you may need a prefix, e.g. un- (unhappy), im- (impolite), in- (inexperienced), dis- (dishonest), etc.

If you don’t know the new word, guess. You may be right!

Check your answers carefully when you finish.
