Chapter 5: Prefixes and Suffixes

• Engels
• Middelbare school
• vmbo
• Leerjaar 2

Welcome! Can you guess what this is?

It's a coffee bean!

Today's goal

At the end of these 2  lessons I can correctly form and use prefixes and suffixes

Prefixes / Voorvoegsels

Komen voor het woord

Veranderen de betekenis van het woord

These prefixes all mean 'not' (niet) or

 'the opposite' (tegenovergestelde)

non-             sense -> nonsense

un-               used -> unused

im-               possible -> impossible

il-                  legal -> illegal

in-                compatible -> incompatible

ir-                 responsible -> irresponsible

dis-             appear -> disappear

Re- means 'again' (opnieuw) or 'back' (terug)

act -> react

play -> replay

turn -> return

visit -> revisit

mis- means 'wrong' (verkeerd) or 'not' (niet)

place -> misplace

understand -> misunderstand

use -> misuse

behave -> misbehave

Do you remember?

re- means?

mis- means?

re- means again/back

mis- means wrong/not

                                                                                                              7 questions

Part 2 Suffixes

What is the meaning of prefixes?

Prefixes + Suffixes

They both change the meaning of the word.

Prefixes are letters you can place before a word. 

Suffixes are letters that go at the end of a word. 

Suffixes

teach -> teacher
