16. Vocabulary Strategy for Prefixes and Suffixes
Word Structure When you see a word you don’t know, look closely at the word. Does it have un- at the beginning? Does it have -ly at the end?
The prefix un- makes a word mean “not ____” or “the opposite of ____.” For example, unhappy means “not happy.”
The suffix -ly makes a word mean “in a ____ way.” For example, slowly means “in a slow way.”

17. You can use un- or -ly to help you figure out the meaning of a word.
Put your finger over the prefix or suffix.
Look at the base word. (That's the word without the prefix or suffix.) Put the base word in an appropriate phrase:
"the opposite of ____" for un-
"in a ____ way" for -ly.
Try that meaning in the sentence. Does it make sense?
Read "A Gift for Cletus." Look for words that begin with un- or end with -ly.
