1. Generally, a new word is formed by adding a syllable or another word. There

are multiple ways of word formation that can be done for example by adding
prefixes, suffixes, forming compound words, etc. Example is uneasy with
existing root “easy” is added “un” and forming “uneasy”. Another example is
forming compound words: white (adjective) + board (noun) = whiteboard.

2. There were two little cats who always hung out in front of my porch. Every
morning before I went to work, I quickly gave them milk and some kibble to
feed. They were cute, meowing in high pitched meows as I approached them.
Somewhere along the way, two became three, and three become four. They
were becoming bigger now, and somehow, I felt scared that they would leave
me someday.
