Homework 6

1-
When un- is used as an adjective prefix, it usually generally
indicates "not." Unripe fruit has not yet reached ripeness. This
also applies to participial adjectives: an undamaged plate does
not break; it stays whole.
the word "re"'s prefix
Hundreds of words in the English language have the prefix re-,
which indicates "back" or "again." Some examples of these
terms are reject, regenerate, and revert. The term return, or
turn "back," can help you recall that the prefix re-means "back."
To remember that re-means "again," think of rearrange, or
arrange "again."
2-
Any meaningful portion of a word, whether in its beginning,
middle, or end, can be considered its root. Types of roots
include suffixes, bases, and prefixes. A word's prefix appears
first, its base is located in the centre, and its suffix is located at
the end. The majority of English root words have Latin and
Greek origins.
3-
There are several inflectional endings: -s, -es, -ing, -ed. A noun
can be made plural (containing more than one) by adding the
inflectional ends -s and -es, as in the cases of bench/benches
and cat/cats. The verb tenses eat/eating and walk/walked are
altered by the inflectional ends -ing and -ed.
An element that comes after the base and is unable to function
as a word on its own is called a suffix. A few days ago, she
walked her dog. The suffix -ed gives the sense "in the past" to
words. The word "still going on" is added by the suffix -ing, as
in: She is walking her dog today.

Point out the many sounds that the -ed suffix can represent as
you read the words aloud. Describe how verbs are modified by
adding these suffixes. While the suffix -ing can be used as an
adjective or to signify something happening in the present, the -
ed suffix indicates that something happened in the past.
