If the suffix begins with a consonant, do not drop the e from the base word. EXAMPLE: hope + ful= hopeful *You can follow along on page 130 in your hardcover book *

 A prefix may be added to the beginning of a root or a base word to build another word.  The prefixes con- and in- can change spelling depending on the letter that begins the root.  This spelling change is called the assimilation of the prefix.  The meaning of the prefix does not change when it is assimilated.

 Dis- : means “absence,” “opposite,” “to reverse,” “to remove,” or “not.” The prefix dis- is assimilated into some words and can change its spelling in two ways: 1. The s at the end of the prefix can change to f before a root beginning with f. 2.The s at the end of the prefix can be dropped before a root. Examples:  dis- + fer = differ  dis- + lute = dilute

 A phrase is a group of related words that does not include a subject and verb.  The words in a phrase function together.  A verb phrase consists of a main verb and a helping verb. Example: The student was solving the puzzle. -In this sentence, solving is the main verb; was is the helping verb. - This verb phrase is the past progressive form of the verb solve.

 A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun. Example: With difficulty, he solved the puzzle with a thousand pieces. -With difficulty is the prepositional phrase that begins with the preposition with and ends with the noun difficulty. This prepositional phrase acts like an adverb, telling how he solved the puzzle. - With a thousand pieces is a prepositional phrase that begins with the preposition with and ends with the noun pieces. This prepositional phrase acts like an adjective, describing the puzzle.

 A phrasal verb consists of a verb plus a word whose form looks like a preposition. But the second word doesn’t function as a preposition. Instead, it is part of the meaning of the phrasal verb. The meaning of the phrasal verb is usually different from the meanings of the individual words.  You can see this and follow along on page 135 of your hardcover.
