SUFFIXES

A suffix changes the meaning of the word it is joined to by changing its part of speech; e.g. we can add –ity to the adjective national to make the noun nationality. 

We often need to change the spelling, for example, urgent becomes urgency.

A few suffixes, particularly at the end of adjectives, have meaning; e.g. –less always indicates ‘without’: meaningless, homeless, hopelessly.

Here are the most common noun suffixes you should remember. Nouns are mostly made from verbs, adjectives or other nouns by adding a suffix.

PREFIXES

A prefix at the beginning of a word has a meaning of its own that changes the meaning of the word it is joined to. Knowing what the prefix means can help us to understand the word. For example, if you read unpremeditated and know that meditate means ‘think about something’ – you can work out the meaning of unpremeditated: un- is a prefix meaning ‘not’, pre- denotes ‘before’, meditated means ‘thought about’. You can now work out that unpremeditated means something like ‘not thought about in advance’.

We can use prefixes in front of:

1.  Nouns                   underpayment, understudy
2.  Adjectives            underdeveloped, underground
3.  Verbs                    undercut, underestimate

TEST YOURSELF

Test your knowledge of the word formation. Follow the rules:

1.  Заполняя таблицу, обратите внимание на количество строк для заполнения. Две и более строки указывают на то, что необходимо добавить, например,  два существительных от данного глагола (compete – competition; competitor). В этом случае полезно вспомнить про аналогичные слова в русском языке. Не забывайте про отрицательные формы!
2.  Работая с текстом, сначала прочитайте текст. Все пропущенные слова должны лексически и грамматически соответствовать его содержанию. Помните, что в задании дан целый текст, а не разрозненные предложения!
3.  Определите часть речи, которая должна находиться на месте пропуска. Для этого нужно задать вопрос от главного слова к тому слову, которое необходимо преобразовать. Например, наречие отвечает на вопрос «как»? Также обращайте внимание на формальные признаки, которые могут указать на определенную часть речи (например, артикль ставится как непосредственно перед существительным, так и перед прилагательным, определяющим данное существительное).
4.  Образуйте часть речи от корневого слова при помощи суффиксов.
5.  Если часть речи не меняется, нужно работать с приставками. Обязательно поймите смысл предложения, в котором есть пропуск, так как приставки меняют смысл слова. Очень часть нужно изменить слово на ту же часть речи, но с отрицательным значением.
6.  Не забывайте про правила орфографии (например, в суффиксах прилагательных: -ant; -ent; -able; -ible), а также в случаях чередования (strong – strength; live – life) и др.
