12.  Some words are made up of different parts,
for example, unemployment
 Unemployment has a beginning (prefix), a middle
(root word) and an ending (suffix).
 Unemployment : un (prefix), employ (root)
meant (suffix)
 The root word is the basic word and by
adding prefixes and suffixes, we can change
its meaning.

13.  If we take the root word, employ, and add
other suffixes we can make other words, such
as employed, employee, employer. Both the
spelling and the meanings of the words are
linked.
 A root word is a real word and you can make new
words from it by adding prefixes and suffixes.

16. The meanings of prefixes
 Every prefix has a meaning. For example:
 The prefix ‘un’ means ‘not’
 The root word ‘clear’ means ‘bright’, ‘free from
difficulty’
 So un + clear = unclear , meaning ‘not clear’ or
‘dim’, ‘difficult to see or understand’.

17.  There are no rules to help you remember
which prefix you should use, although
knowing the meaning of the prefix can help.
 Here are some examples of prefixes and their
