11. Read and memorize the following:
1. It is really useful to know how prefixes and suffixes form new words. Prefixes (un-, il-, ir-, dis-, mis-, im- ) are often used to give verbs, nouns and adjectives a negative meaning. A prefix does not normally change word stress. But the stress may change if you want to emphasize the negative or opposite. Was he happy about the change? No, he was unhappy about it.
Prefixes un-, dis- have two meanings: they can have a negative meaning, but they can also mean ‘the opposite of an action’ or ‘to reverse an action’. This meaning is used with certain verbs (lock – unlock; appear – disappear).
See the meaning of the other prefixes:
My homework was terrible, so I had to redo it. (re- = again)
I think my boss is overdoing it at the moment. He is working too much. (over- = too much)
Two of the students misread the first question. (mis- = badly or incorrectly)
2. Although it is mainly adjectives which are made negative by prefixes, un- and dis- can also form the opposites of verbs, reverse the action of the verb (appear – disappear; agree – disagree; bend – unbend; wrap - unwrap)
3. A suffix is a word part that is added to the end of another word or word part. Learning common suffixes can increase your ability to recognize the meaning of unfamiliar words.
Noun forming suffixes -ant, -eer, -er, -ist, -ian, -or mean “one who does something”: accountant, electioneer, stenographer, physician, typist, inventor.
4. A root is a word to which a suffix or prefix may be added. If you know the meaning of Greek or Latin roots, you will be able to determine the basic meaning of many new words.
