Introducing Vocabulary

This overview introduces the concept of root words, the fundamental form of a word without any affixes. It explains affixes as additional elements that modify meaning, including prefixes and suffixes. Examples illustrate how prefixes like "mid" change the meaning of a word, such as "midweek." The focus then shifts to the prefix "fore," exploring its meaning and usage in vocabulary. By understanding these components, learners can enhance their language skills and word comprehension.

  1. Introducing Vocabulary

  2. Root words • The form of a word after all affixes are removed. • So what is an affix?

  3. Affixes • An additional element placed at the beginning or end of a root, stem, or word, or in the body of a word, to modify its meaning. • For example, prefixes and suffixes are affixes. • What would be an example of a prefix? • What would be an example of a suffix?

  4. Prefixes • A prefix is a group of letters that has been added to the front of a word, thereby changing the meaning of that word. • For example, if you add mid (a prefix meaning middle) to week, so midweek, the meaning of the word changes to "the middle of the week."

  5. Fore • This week’s vocabulary will focus around the prefix –fore. • What does this prefix mean?
