Study skills
Teaching aims:
Learn to guess the meanings of a word by its formation.
Step 1 guessing the meaning of a new word by its formation.
When we read and come across new words, we can sometimes guess their meanings by the way they are formed.
Sometimes a suffix changes a word’s part of speech, but the meaning remains almost the same. Thus, if you know the meaning of the root word, you can guess the meaning of the word, e.g. illness, achievement, energetic, dangerous.
Sometimes a prefix or a suffix changes the meaning of a word, e.g. incorrect, dislike, unlucky, homeless.
Sometimes two words come together to form a compound word, such as blackboard. Some compounds have a hyphen (-), such as hard-working.
