Prefixes and Suffixes
There are 3 processes of word formation in English: affixation- addition of prefixes and sufixes; conversion- use of the word in another class without any changes; and compounding- joining 2 words to form another.
Prefixes and suffixes are sets of letters that are added to the beginning or end of another word. They are not words in their own right and cannot stand on their own in a sentence: if they are printed on their own they have a hyphen before or after them.
Prefixes are added to the beginning of an existing word in order to create a new word with a different meaning.
The following is an list of medical prefixes along with their meanings, origin, and an English example.
Example of Prefixes
Prefix Origin Meaning example
Pre- Latin Before Pre-test
Inter- Latin Between Interface
Mono- Greek One,Single Monoplane
Un- Latin Not Unhappy
Re- Latin Back,again Repaint
Dis- Latin Apart, not Disconnect
Teaching alphabetics and fluency in readingMarcia Luptak
This is a presentation I made through CETL at Elgin Community College in the spring of 2011. It deals with teaching alphabetics and fluency to intermediate reading students.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. WORD
meaningful unit of language
sounds: a meaningful sound
or combination of sounds that
is a unit of language or its
representation in a text
-(Encarta Dictionaries & American Heritage Dictionary)
3. Base, original word
Can be added with either prefixes or suffixes
to create other words
Ex: benefit, benevolent
unbeneficial, benediction
ROOT WORD
4. Each prefix and suffix has a meaning of its own; so
by adding one or the other –or both- to root words,
you form new words.
Ex. chron a Greek word means “time”
5. (time) (“the study of”)
chron + ology = chronology
(the study that deals
with time division and
that assigns events to
their proper dates)
6. WORD DEFINITION EXAMPLES
vis, vid see television, revise, envision, visible
vac empty vacant, vacuum, evacuate, vacate
tele far off, distant telephone, telegraph, telegram, television
phon voice, sound telephone, phonology, phonetics, phonograph
hydro water hydroelectric, hydropower, hydrate
audi hear inaudible, auditorium, audio
ROOT WORDS
7. Cutting portion of the word at the beginning, at the end or
cutting both ends of the word and retaining part of the original
to stand for its meaning.
CLIPPINGS
Examples:
bra-brassiere taxi- taxicab hyper- hyperactive
cab- taxicab stereo-stereophonic lab- laboratory
nuke- nuclear photo- photograph demo- demonstration
flu- influenza fan- fanatic condo- condominium
plane- airplane promo- promotion
8. Lets give a shot!
Write the clipped form of the following terms and use them in meaningful sentences.
1. psychology - ________________________________
Sentence___________________________________
2. microphone - ________________________________
Sentence___________________________________
3. professor - ________________________________
Sentence___________________________________
4. schedule - ________________________________
Sentence___________________________________
9. ACRONYMS and INITIALS
Acronyms and initials are both techniques in
abbreviation which are always misconstrued to be the
same. New words created out of initial letters or sound
of words or names are called acronyms. The group of
initial letters used for a name or expression and
pronounced separately is classified as type of
abbreviation called initialism.
10. Examples:
Acronyms Initials
AWOL- absence without leave VIP- very important person
Capelco- Capiz Electric Cooperative MC- master of ceremony
CapSU- Capiz State University CAT- College Admission Test
COA- Commission on Audit UK- United Kingdom
11. Let’s give a shot!
Tell what the following acronyms and initials stand for. Then use the dictionary to
define them.
1. SOP stands for:_______________________________________
It means:________________
2. Laser stands for:_______________________________________
It means:________________
3. Scuba stands for:_______________________________________
It means:________________
4. ALS stands for:_______________________________________
It means:________________
5. DOLE stands for:_______________________________________
It means:________________
12. Blending
Another word formation process where portions of two words
are combined or fused together, thus creating a new word.
Examples:
internet- inter and network heliport- helicopter and airport
cellphone- cellular and phone motel- motorist and hotel
emoticon- emotion and icon flare- flame and glare
13. Three ways of blending words:
The beginning of the word is added to the end of the other word.
Example: brunch – breakfast and lunch
Both the beginning of the words are added.
Example: cyborg – cybernetic and organism
Combining two words entirely without clipping or adding its parts
to form new word.
Example: thumbprint– thumb and print
14. Let’s give it a shot!
Find out where the following words came and give their meaning.
1. pixel __________________ ____________________
_____________________________________________________
2. maxicare __________________ ____________________
_____________________________________________________
3. telecast __________________ ____________________
_____________________________________________________
Merge the following words and indicate what method is used in the combination. Write the letters only.
A. The beginning of the word is added to the end of the other word
B. Both the beginning of the words are added.
C. Two words are combined
Merged Word Method
1. camera and recorder ___________ ______
2. town and house ___________ ______
3. motor and cavalcade ___________ ______
4. Splash and surge ___________ ______
5. of the clock ___________ ______
15. Prefixes
A prefix is a group of letters that is added at
the beginning of a word (called a root) to
create a new word with a different meaning.
Ex.
reunion insignificant preliminary
incorporate unfriend television
16. A hyphen separates the word
when prefix is joined to a proper
noun or a number.
neo-Freudian
pre-1900s
17. The new word, if spelled
without a hyphen, could be
confused with another word.
re-creation [the creation of something for a second time]
recreation [an enjoyable activity]
re-sign [to sign again]
resign [to submit or relinquish]
18. The same vowel appears at the end
of the prefix and the beginning of
the root.
anti-intellectual
co-ownership
19. Suffixes
A suffix is a group of letters added to the end of
a word (called a root) to create a new word with
a different meaning or, more often, to indicate a
change in the root word’s function.
For example, adding the -ed suffix to the present
stem of a regular verb puts the verb in the past
tense.
talk + ed = talked
20. The addition of a suffix frequently
causes spelling errors because the
spelling of some roots must be
changed before a suffix can be
attached.
22. A group of letters added to the
end of the word to form a new
word, the meaning of which is
usually different from
the original word.
23. Eat – refers to the verb/action of taking in food
Eater – refers to a noun/person who eats
Sandwich -
Daisy -
24.
25. 1.A suffix is a letter or group of letters added to the end of a word to form a
new word, the meaning of which is usually different from that of the original
word.
2. Suffixes modify the root word to which they are added.
3. Suffixes are used to form plural of nouns.
Example: -s, -es, -ies and – er
4. Suffixes are used to change the tense of a verb.
Example: - s, -es, -d, ed, -t, - ing
5. Suffixes are used to form an adverb from adjectives.
Examples: - ly
6. The suffixes – er, -ful, and –less are some of the commonly used suffixes.
7. For root word ending in – e, only – r is added.
8. For root word ending in – y is dropped and replaced with – ier.
26. Suffix Definition Examples
-ly like happily, friendly
-wise in the direction of clockwise
-ness quality, degree relationship, intership
-less without mindless, helpless
-ize to make or cause to be emphasize, sterilize
-ism condition, manner capitalism, nationalism
-ful characterized by beautiful
-ess female goddess, actress
-er one who weaver, miner
- ee one who receives action employee, nominee
-able likely capable
27. General Rules that govern the most
common spelling changes required by
adding a suffix
28. Doubling a Consonant
When a root ends in a consonant, double the
consonant before adding a suffix if:
1) the root has only one syllable or is accented on
its final syllable; 2) the root ends with a single
consonant preceded by a single vowel; 3) the
suffix begins with a vowel.
red + est = reddest
begin + ing = beginning
29. Do not double the consonant if the root ends in w, x, or y.
tow + ed = towed
lax + est = laxest
play + er = player
The root ends with a single consonant preceded by two
vowels.
bloat + ing = bloating
The root has two or more syllables and is not accented on the
final one.
suffer + ed = suffered
30. Dropping a silent e
If a root ends in a silent e, delete the e
before adding a suffix if:
1) the e is preceded by a consonant; 2) the
suffix begins with a vowel.
merge + ing = merging
the e is preceded by an o.
hoe + ed = hoed
31. Retain the silent e if
1) the e is preceded by a consonant; 2) the suffix
begins with a consonant.
like + ness = likeness
1) the e is preceded by a soft c (pronounced like an
s) or a soft g (pronounced like a j); 2) the suffix
begins with an a, o, or u.
notice + able = noticeable
courage + ous = courageous
32. Changing a Final ie to a y
If a root ends in ie, change the ie to a y
before adding ing.
die + ing = dying
33. Changing a Final y to an i
If a root ends in a consonant followed by a y,
change the y to an i before adding a suffix unless
the suffix begins with an i.
busy + ness = business
But: carry + ing = carrying
If a vowel precedes the y, however, retain the y.
obey + ing = obeying
34. Adding a k after a Final c
If root ends with a hard c (pronounced like
a k), insert a k before adding a suffix that
begins with an i, an e, or a y.
panic + ed = panicked
35. No k is needed if:
the suffix begins with an a, an o, a u, or a
consonant.
frolic + some = frolicsome
the c at the end of the root becomes soft
(pronounced like an s) after the suffix is added.
critic + ism = criticism
37. When a suffix is added to a root, the
result is usually spelled as one word.
-twofold -handbook
The suffixes elect and odd are
exceptions. They should always be
connected to a root word with a hyphen.
-governor-elect -twenty-odd
38. If a root is a proper noun, a
hyphen should usually be
inserted before adding a suffix.
American-like
Miami-wide
39. Analyze the following words carefully and identify the
prefix, root word, suffix and its meaning and derivation.
