II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

Many English words are formed by taking basic words and

adding combinations of prefixes and suffixes to them. A
basic word to which affixes (prefixes and suffixes) are
added is called a root word because it forms the basis of a
new word. The root word is also a word in its own right. For
example, the word lovely consists of the word love and the
suffix -ly.

Familiarity with Greek and Latin roots, as well as prefixes and

suffixes, can help students understand the meaning of new
words.

 For example, the most common prefix is un-, which
means the opposite of the word.
Root word: Happy Prefix: un- New word: Unhappy
When affixes are added to the end of roots or root words, they
are called suffixes. The most common suffixes are -s and -es, which
mean more than one (or the plural) of the word.
For example, adding -es to wish, changes the meaning of the
word to more than one.
Root word: wish Suffix: -es New word: wishes
