Determine the meaning of idiomatic expressions by noting context clue and collocations.
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, at least 80% of the students should be able to:
a. Identify the three basic parts of words: root words, prefix and suffix.
b. Use affixes the important of using words to express oneself to anyone.
c. Realize the important of using words to express oneself to anyone.
Motive Questions:
1. How did you find the activity? Was it easy of difficult? Why?
2. What did you notice with the words?
3. What would be the topic for today?
C. Acquire New Knowledge

Suffix:
Suffixes are letters added after the root word to make a new word. There are two ways to add suffixes:
a. Inflectional
Inflection occurs when suffixes are added to a base word that changes its number, tense, degree of
comparison, among others.
The following are example of nflection:
The singular noun tomato when added -es changes to plural form, tomatoes. The present tense
verb walk when added with -ed changes to its past tense walked. The positive adjective heavy
when added with -er changes to comparative form heavier. Inflection therefore does not affect a
word’s meaning or class, i.e. the base and its inflected words still belong to the same category.
b. Derivational
The derivational function of suffixes happens when new words with new meanings are formed
and a change in semantic meaning or part of speech occurs. The following are examples of derivation:
The verb teach when added with -er becomes teacher, a noun. The Adjective beautiful when added with -
ly becomes beautifully, an adverb. The adjective simple when added with -fy becomes simplify, a verb.
Derivation therefore changes the part of speech.
D. Application
Group Activity
