What is a suffix?

Name a prefix...

Name a part of speech

Exam tip (page 41):

"You may need to add a suffix (e.g. -ness/-ous) to change the word to another part of speech, (e.g. -y luck - lucky); or a prefix (e.g. un-/dis-) to change the meaning (e.g. lucky - unlucky)."

Exercise 3 unit 3 test = same meaning / expressions

Language tip (page 41):

"The prefixes un-, in- and dis- can be used to make adjectives negative.

(Note: in- becomes im- before 'm' or 'p', ir- before a word beginning with 'r' and il- before a word beginning with 'l').

Un- and dis- can also be used with verbs and nouns (untie, disappear/disappearance)"
