Vocabulary:
Prefixes and suffixes are extremely powerful for creating relative words.
Model: mystery (n) – mysterious (adj) – mysteriously (adv) – mysteriousness (n) – mystic (a) – mystify (v) – mysticism (n)
Prefixes are often used to change the meaning of the base word.
Model: (ir- = not): ir+relevant = irrelevant = not relevant
Make new words with the base words, using the suffixes or prefixes. Sometimes you need to make small changes to the spelling.
