Topic for today

Prefixes and suffixes

Explanation (1)

Prefixes and suffixes are sets of letters that we add to the beginning of a word (prefix) or at the end of the word (suffix). They change the meaning of the word.

Prefixes (1)

Non– / un– / im– / il– / in– / ir– all give an opposite meaning to the word.

Examples:

1. profit --> Non-profit
2. Used --> Unused
3. Legal --> Illegal

Prefixes (2)

Re- means again, back or in response to when added in the beginning of a word.

• Turn --> Return
• Play --> Replay
• Visit --> Revisit

Prefixes (3)

Mis– is used to give a word a negative meaning when added to the beginning of a word.

Communication --> 

Dis– is also used to give a word an opposite or negative meaning.

Like --> 

Suffixes (1)

–er: You already know this suffix to create a comparative. It can also be used for a person or thing that does an action.

• fast – faster
  
• slow – slower
• win – winner
• teach -- teacher

Suffixes (2)

–ness is used to turn an adverb/adjective into a noun.

Happy --->

Kind --> 

Suffixes (3)

–ing behind a word is used for a product, material or a verb turned into a noun.

Adding –ment behind a word also changes a verb into a noun.

Examples: 

1. The painting was sold for a million pounds.

2. The payment went through.

(spell)

The hidden glosa

You all must be wondering......

Well mister Hulst, what is that?

The hidden glosa

A Spanish poem form of in which you are using four lines from an existing poem and alter your own flair into it.

Today we woke up to a revolution of snow,

its white flag waving over everything,

the landscape vanished,

not a single mouse to punctuate the blankness,

and beyond these windows

 now I am listening hard

Written by Billy Collin

Today we woke up to a revolution of snow,
A blue sky over the horizon 

Waiting for my arrival

There is a white flag waving over everything,

Reaching for my grasp 
and gives a warmly welcome 

the landscape vanished, 

through a thick smoke of dark clouds
not even my thoughts could doubt
Something strange is about to happen  

not a single mouse to punctuate the blankness,

Getting all crowded into the audience
and beyond these windows

It is my time to shine

 A new journey which I would like to start
And now I am listening hard
To my teacher who is screaming

out loud 

 

Example

Let's do this together (hidden glosa)

Open your heart to happiness.
 

Let every pore absorb light.
 

Cast off the darkness of night.

Walk in the summer of sunshine.

Fly in the blueness of sky.
