- Give some examples of words that contain prefixes and suffixes.What does each mean? What is the meaning of the whole word?
- Respond and comment to at least three classmates.
Watch the following for clarification/ reinforcement before you post.
prefix is in which is placed before the word.Ex: il+legal= illegal meaning something not allowed or its wrong.
ReplyDeletesuffix is in which is placed after the word. Ex: help+less= helpless meaning unable
i understand your example for suffix but whats the meaning of suffix
DeleteA suffix can be used to denote value or give greater meaning to the subject at hand.
Deleteexample: I felt hopeless after I lost my job.
less is being added at the end hope to show the level emotion being felt at the time of the example.
A suffix is a piece of letter or a group of letters which is placed at the end of the word to change the part of speech of the word. Ex: happy + ness = happiness
DeleteNice explanation and examples.
DeleteThe prefix co-, with the sense “joint, jointly,” now forms new words from bases beginning with any sound (cochair; cogeneration; costar; coworker), sometimes with the derived sense “auxiliary” (coenzyme; copilot).
Deleteexample of prefix:co-worker.
ReplyDeleteMy co-worker is a good friend of mine.
what about the meaning of the prefix?
DeleteExample of suffix: home+less=homeless.(no house to live)
DeleteBecause of his drugs addiction, He ended up homeless.
Great example! Can you explain the meaning of "co?"

DeleteA prefix can be used at the beginning of word to Identify what a person is doing.
ReplyDeleteexample: It looks like Bobby has come prepared for class today.
A suffix can be used at the end of a word to add additional meaning to the value of something
example:during a work meeting I realized the value of a product was much higher than the normal items we bring in on a regular.
the er at the end of higher is being used as a adjective and suffix to denote the person in question is surprised by the overall value of the item as it is not normal for them to see such a thing at work.
great
DeleteGood job Bobby.

ReplyDeleteWHAT IS A PREFIX?
ReplyDeleteCome at the beginning of the word, and change the meaning of the word.
WHAT IS A SUFFIX?
Come at the end of the word, change the meaning of the word and help to identify the part of the speech of a word.
These word parts help us to define the meaning of a unknown word because when you identify the prefixes and suffixes, even if you don't know the meaning of the word, you can have an idea of the meaning if you know the meaning of the prefixes and suffixes.
