    NAME: ______________________________________

    FINDING THE BASE WORD


    Learning goal: to see how words get put together by learning about BASE
    WORDS, SUFFIXES & PREFIXES.

    PREFIXES SUFFIXES
    anti able/ible
    co age
    de al/ic
    dis ancy/ance
    extra ant
    il ary/ery/ory
    in ate/ite
    inter ful
    ir ian/ion/sion/tion
    mis ible
    non ing/s/ed
    over ish
    post ism
    pre ist
    pro ity
    re ive
    sub less
    super ment
    un ness
    ology

    Considering that
     prefixes are sometimes joined to the front of words eg un + happy = unhappy
     suffixes are sometimes joined to the ends of words eg effect + ive = effective
     sometimes more than one suffix is added: eg effect + ive + ly = effectively

    When you take off prefixes and suffixes, you are left with the original word, the base word. It
    has to be a REAL WORD, not part of a word.

    TASK: Strip away the prefixes and suffixes to find the base word:

    BASE WORD
    untrue
    magical
    misunderstand
    submarine
    enjoyable
    disagree
    decode
    misspell
    disloyal

    disrepair
    triangle
    colourful
    blissful
    delightful
