9. 3. Review: Base Words, Roots, and Affixes  A base word is a word that can stand alone and does not have a prefix or a suffix.  A base word can be one or more syllables EXAMPLES: dream, de/tail  A root word is the basic meaning part of a word. It carries the most important part of the word’s meaning. Roots of English words often come from other languages, especially Latin.  The root usually needs a prefix or suffix to make it into a word.  Prefixes are meaningful word parts that can be added to the front of base words or roots.  Suffixes are meaningful word parts that can be added to the ends of base words or roots. *(Examples to follow)*

10. 3. EXAMPLES:  Pre- “before” -date “to indicate the age of” Prefix + Base Word = New Word Pre + date = predate = “to date before; to have happen before something else” Prefix + Root = English Word Pre + clude = preclude = “to close before; to make impossible because of an earlier event”

11. 3. EXAMPLES: Base Word + Suffix = New Word Dread + ful = dreadful = “full of dread; terrible or unpleasant” Root + Suffix = New Word Port + able = portable = “able to be carried”  -port “to carry” -ful “full of” -able “capable of”

12.  The present participle is formed by adding –ing to a verb.  EXAMPLE: Dream + ing = dreaming Heal + ing = healing Whistle + ing = whistling  The past participle of many verbs is formed by adding –ed or –en to a form of the verb.  EXAMPLE: Broke + en = broken Paint + ed = painted Forgot + en = forgotten *Both present participles and past participles can function as adjectives  EXAMPLES: a dreaming child, a healing scar, a whistling kettle, a broken string, a painted house, a forgotten toy 3.

19. 4. Review: Irregular Verbs  English verbs and verb phrases can convey past, present, and future time (tense)  The regular past tense ending is –ed Example: form/formed  Some verbs use irregular forms to signal time (tense). These past tense verbs do not end in –ed. Irregular past tense verb forms must be memorized. They have different endings or are spelled differently Example: keep/kept  The helping verb will signals future time (tense)
