#1 (Explore)
Read the following sentences.
1. Dream becomes impossible if you think that way.
2. Life makes us laugh, sometimes cry; and that
makes it colorful.
 The words possible and color are the root words.
They are also called base words.
Impossible and colorful are words formed when the
group of letters like im- and -ful are added. These
letters are called affixes. Affixes can change the
meaning of a root word.
Affixes have two types.
1. Prefix is composed of letters added before a root
word.
Example: im + possible = impossible (im- is the
prefix)
2. Suffix is composed of letters added after a root
word.
Example: color + ful = colorful (-ful is the suffix)
Let us discuss some of the common prefixes.
Prefix mis- means wrong or badly. Words with
prefix mis- means negative.
Prefix im- means not or opposite of. It is only used
for root words that begin with b, m, and p.
Prefix dis- means not or opposite of. When used,
new word formed means the opposite of the root
word.
Now, let us explore some of the suffixes.
Suffix -ful means full of
Suffix -less means to be without of. It is the
opposite of suffix -ful.
Suffix -er is usually added to an action word to
mean someone or something that does the action.
