Activity

Look at the words and determine if the affix is a prefix or a suffix

e.g. Manageable -able suffix

1. resistance 

2. unicycle 

3. multicolored 

4. wishful 

5. brotherhood 

Choose the synonym or meaning that best fits each word:

1.  Colleague a. to begin, to start2.  Direct b. probable; to be expected3.  Indirect c. first choice; liking4.  Initiate d. straight; nonstop5.  Likely e. unlikable; nasty6.  Preference f. coworker; associate7.  Unpleasant g. not direct; roundabout

Root, Prefix and Suffix

An English word can be made up of three elements: the root, a prefix and a suffix.

*The part of the word that contains the basic meaning is called the Root (e.g. act, form, and test). It is the foundation of the word.*The word part that is placed in front of a root is called a Prefix.(e.g. “re” + act = react < “re” means “back” or “again”).The prefix can change the meaning of the root word and makes a new word.*The part of the word that is placed after the root is called Suffix(e.g. re+ act + <-ion>=reaction < the suffix “-ion” indicates that the word has turned intoa noun.

***Prefixes and suffixes are called affixes because they are connected to a root.
