Word formation in English involves creating new words or modifying existing ones through various processes, including affixation (prefixes and suffixes), compounding, conversion, and more. For example, by adding the suffix "-er" to "teach," you form "teacher." Compounding combines two words to create a new one, such as "toothbrush." Conversion involves changing a word's grammatical category, like "text" (noun) becoming "text" (verb) as in "I will text you."
