New Concept

Today we review the suffixes and prefixes we've been learning.

Highlighted words are the ones to show and practice reading — tap one to hear it.

Morphemes are word parts that change what a word means. Suffixes and prefixes are types of morphemes. Let's review the suffixes and prefixes we have been learning. -ER, -OR, -IST: -ER, -OR, and -IST mean 'one that' as in words teacher, sailor, and artist. -ISH: -ISH means 'somewhat like' as in . -Y: -Y means 'full of or described as,' -Y changes nouns to adjectives as in word cloudy. -NESS: -NESS means 'state of,' -NESS changes adjectives to nouns as in word kindness. -MENT: -MENT means 'result, act, or state of,' -MENT changes verbs to nouns as in word entertainment. -ABLE, -IBLE: -ABLE and -IBLE mean 'able to!' They make words adjectives as in word breakable. UNI-: UNI- means one as in ; BI- means two as in ; TRI- means three as in .
