1
next part of this module.
Did you get champion? You got it right!

Catriona Gray and Manny Pacquiao are few of the Filipinos who
brought pride to our country. They are world-class champions.
Read the following sentences. Study the underlined words.

1. Dream becomes impossible if you think that way.
2. Life makes us laugh, sometimes cry and that makes it colorful.
Let us pay attention to these words.
Impossible colorful
im + possible = impossible color + ful = colorful
The words possible and color are root words.

They are also called base words.
Impossible and colorful are words formed when syllables

like im- and -ful are added. These letters are
called affixes. Affixes can change the meaning
of a root word.
Affixes have two types.

1. Prefix is composed of letters added
before a root word.
Example:
im + possible = impossible
(prefix) (root word) (im means not)
2. Suffix is composed of letters added
after a root word.
Example:
color + ful = colorful
(root word) ( suffix) (ful means full of)
Let us discuss some of the common prefixes.
Prefix mis-
Misbehave means behave wrongly or
behave badly. The new word means negative.
Miscalculate means wrong calculation.
Also, the meaning becomes negative.
mis + behave = misbehave
mis + calculate = miscalculate
2
In short, prefix mis- means wrong or badly. Words with prefix
mis- means negative.
Prefix im-
Imperfect means not perfect.
Im + perfect = imperfect
im + mortal = immortal
Immortal means not mortal.

Prefix im- means not or opposite of. It is only used for root
words that begin with b, m, and p.
Prefix dis-
Dislike means not like.
Dislike means not like.
Disable means not able.
Disable means not able.
Prefix dis- means not or opposite of. When used, new
word formed means the opposite of the root word.
Remember that prefixes can change the meaning of a root word.

Let us explore some of the suffixes.
Suffix –ful Suffix -less

care + ful = careful Careless is the opposite of careful.
thank + ful = thankful Careless means without care.
The word careful means full of care. Hopeless means without hope.
The word thankful means full of thanks. care + less = careless
Suffix -ful means full of. hope + less = hopeless
Suffix -less means to be without of.
It is the opposite of suffix -ful.
Suffix -er
Someone who dances is called dancer.
dance + er = dancer
Someone who sings is called singer.
sing + er = singer
Suffix -er is usually added to an action word to mean
someone or something that does the action.
Let Us Practice

Let Us Reflect
 Root word is a base of a word, the simplest form or structure.

 When we say affix, it is something a letter sound, or syllable added to the
root word in the beginning or ending.
 There are two divisions of affix: the prefix and the suffix.
 Prefix is the one placed at the beginning of a root word.
 Suffix is the one placed at the end of a root word.
Using this word formations, it can help us to shorten the word we want to
say. For example, "write again", by just using word formation, we can easily say it
as "rewrite"
