What are prefixes and suffixes? 01
Suffixes Suffixes are a type of morpheme or morphological particle that is added to the end of a word to modify, complete or determine its meaning. These particles combine with the root of the word to form new words with different or more specific meanings.
Prefixes are a type of morpheme used to form new words by being placed at the beginning of a lexical root. Unlike suffixes, prefixes have greater lexical weight , meaning that they often have a meaning of their own and can function as separate words. For example, the prefixes "ex" (indicating that something is no longer) and "pre" (meaning "before"). Prefixes
What is the difference? 02
Prefixes or suffixes? Prefixes and suffixes depend on the word they modify . Prefixes alter the meaning at the beginning and suffixes alter the meaning at the end of the word. Prefixes are placed directly before the lexical root of the word, while suffixes are added after the root .
To recognize the meaning of an unknown word, you can do so from the suffixes and prefixes that compose the word: Read the word Identify the root Identify the prefix or suffix Connect the information with its meaning Recognizing the meaning of a word according to its suffix or prefix
Recognizing the meaning of a word according to its suffix or prefix For example with the word “Bakery” Read the word “bakery”. Search for the root of the word and in this case the one that is going to provide me with part of the meaning. "Bake" which means "to cook inside an oven". Identify the prefix and suffix. "-ery" as a suffix meaning "a type of place or work". Relating both meanings: If the root "bak" comes from "bake" and "-ery" adds to the root the meaning of "a type of place or work", "bakery" means "place where bread and cakes are made".
