    Formation of words


    With some English vocabulary, we must sometimes change the form of the words in order to get the right meaning. This is called derivation.

    Example: She gave me happy on my last birthday. X

    The correct sentence is : She gave me happiness on my last birthday.

    We can add prefixes or suffixes such as:

    Dis + honest =dishonest

    Im + possible = impossible

    Joy + ful = Joyful

    Care + less = careless
