CBSE Class 9 Hindi Prefix and Suffix Worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to solve this problem.

We are given a list of words:
Disable, Spoiled, Unpainted, Washer, Mistreated, Remade, Unmade

And we need to break each word into three parts:
→ Prefix (the part added at the beginning)
→ Word (the base or root word)
→ Suffix (the part added at the end)

We’re also given a box with possible prefixes and suffixes to choose from:

Prefixes: Dis, Re, Un, Mis
Suffixes: able, er, ed, paint, treat, made — wait, no! Let’s look again.

Actually, looking at the bottom box:

It says:
Dis | Re | able | Wash
Mis | er | Spoil | treat
Un | ed | paint | made

Wait — that’s not quite right. The boxes are meant to be chosen from for prefix, word, and suffix.

Looking more carefully:

The bottom section has 3 columns under “Prefix”, “Word”, “Suffix” but it’s actually a bank of options.

Actually, re-reading the directions:
“Put the prefix, base word, and suffix in the correct columns.”

And below the table, there is a grid of words:

First row: Dis, Re, able, Wash
Second row: Mis, er, Spoil, treat
Third row: Un, ed, paint, made

So these are the pieces we can use to build the words.

Let’s take each word one by one.

---

1. Disable

Break it down:
“Dis” + “able”? But “able” isn’t a base word here — wait, maybe “disable” = “dis” + “able”? But “able” is listed as a suffix option? Hmm.

Wait — let’s think differently.

Actually, “disable” likely comes from “able” with prefix “dis-”. But “able” is not really a base verb — usually “enable” is the base, then “disable”.

But in this worksheet, they probably want us to use the words provided.

Look at the word bank:

Available prefixes: Dis, Re, Un, Mis
Available suffixes: able, er, ed
Available base words: Wash, Spoil, paint, treat, made

Wait — “made” is listed, which is past tense of “make”, so maybe “remade” = “re” + “made”

Similarly, “unmade” = “un” + “made”

“spoiled” = “spoil” + “ed”

“unpainted” = “un” + “paint” + “ed”? But we only have one slot for suffix.

Wait — the table has three columns: Prefix, Word, Suffix.

So for “unpainted”, it might be:

Prefix: Un
Word: paint
Suffix: ed

Yes! That makes sense.

Similarly, “washer” = “wash” + “er” → Prefix: (none?), but we must fill all columns? Wait, the directions say “put the prefix, base word, and suffix” — implying every word has all three? But some words may not have a prefix or suffix.

Wait — look at the example words:

“Disable” — if we break it: “dis” (prefix) + “able” (word)? But “able” is not in the base word list. Base words listed are: Wash, Spoil, paint, treat, made.

Hmm.

Perhaps “disable” is “dis” + “able”, and “able” is considered the base word? But “able” is listed under suffixes? No — in the bottom grid, “able” is in the third column, which might be suffixes.

Let me reorganize the bottom grid properly.

The bottom grid is arranged as:

Column 1: Dis, Mis, Un → these are prefixes
Column 2: Re, er, ed → wait, “Re” is prefix, “er” and “ed” are suffixes? This is messy.

Actually, looking at the layout:

It's a 3x4 grid? Or 3 rows, 4 columns?

Written as:

Dis Re able Wash
Mis er Spoil treat
Un ed paint made

This seems like 3 rows, 4 columns.

But logically, the first column should be prefixes: Dis, Mis, Un
Second column: Re, er, ed — but “Re” is prefix, “er” and “ed” are suffixes — inconsistency.

Perhaps it's meant to be read as available choices for each category.

Maybe the intended grouping is:

Prefixes: Dis, Re, Un, Mis
Base Words: Wash, Spoil, paint, treat, made
Suffixes: able, er, ed

Because “able”, “er”, “ed” are common suffixes.

And “Wash”, “Spoil”, “paint”, “treat”, “made” are base words.

“Made” is a bit odd because it’s past tense, but perhaps it’s accepted as a base for “remade”, etc.

Also, “able” — is it a base word or suffix? In “disable”, “able” is the base, and “dis-” is prefix. But “able” is often a suffix itself (e.g., readable). However, in this context, since “disable” is given, and “able” is in the list, likely “able” is treated as a base word here.

But in the grid, “able” is in the same row as “Wash”, which suggests it might be a base word.

Let me assume the following based on standard usage and the words given:

Prefixes available: Dis, Re, Un, Mis
Base words available: able, Wash, Spoil, paint, treat, made
Suffixes available: er, ed

But “able” is listed in the third column, which might indicate suffix, but that doesn't fit.

Another approach: let's match each word to its components using common knowledge.

Take "Disable":

- Prefix: Dis-
- Base word: able? But "able" is an adjective, and "disable" means to make unable, so perhaps base is "able", prefix "dis-"

But in many curricula, "disable" is broken as dis + able, with "able" as root.

Similarly, "Spoiled": spoil + ed → no prefix, just base + suffix

But the table requires filling all three columns. So for words without prefix, do we leave blank? The directions don't say we can leave blank, and the table has cells for all.

Perhaps for words without prefix, we put nothing, but the instruction says "put the prefix, base word, and suffix", implying all are present.

Let's look at "Washer": wash + er → no prefix, so prefix column empty? But again, the table might expect something.

Perhaps "washer" has no prefix, so we leave prefix blank, but the problem might intend for us to use only the given pieces.

Another idea: perhaps the bottom grid is to be used to select from, and we need to assign each part.

Let me list the words and decompose them logically:

1. Disable = Dis + able → but "able" is not in the base word list? Wait, in the grid, "able" is there, so let's include it as a base word.

Assume base words are: able, Wash, Spoil, paint, treat, made

Suffixes: er, ed

Prefixes: Dis, Re, Un, Mis

Now:

- Disable: Prefix: Dis, Word: able, Suffix: (none) — but we have to fill suffix? Or is "able" considered to have no suffix? But "disable" ends with "able", which is not a suffix here.

I think there's confusion.

Let's check "Mistreated": mis + treat + ed → so Prefix: Mis, Word: treat, Suffix: ed

Similarly, "Remade": Re + made → Prefix: Re, Word: made, Suffix: (none) — but "made" is already past tense, so no additional suffix.

"Unmade": Un + made → same thing.

"Spoiled": Spoil + ed → no prefix, so Prefix: ? , Word: Spoil, Suffix: ed

But we need to fill prefix column. Perhaps for words without prefix, we leave it blank, but the worksheet might expect us to use only the given options, and some words may not have a prefix.

Looking back at the directions: "Put the prefix, base word, and suffix in the correct columns." It doesn't say every word has all three, so probably for words without prefix or suffix, we leave that cell blank or put nothing.

But in the table, all cells are empty, so we can leave some blank.

However, in the answer, we need to fill the table.

Perhaps for "spoiled", since no prefix, we put nothing in prefix column.

Similarly for "washer".

Let's try to fill the table:

Word: Disable
- Prefix: Dis
- Word: able (since "disable" = dis + able)
- Suffix: (blank) — but "able" is not typically a suffix; it's the root. And in this case, no additional suffix.

But "able" is listed in the grid, so it's acceptable.

Word: Spoiled
- Prefix: (blank)
- Word: Spoil
- Suffix: ed

Word: Unpainted
- Prefix: Un
- Word: paint
- Suffix: ed

Word: Washer
- Prefix: (blank)
- Word: Wash
- Suffix: er

Word: Mistreated
- Prefix: Mis
- Word: treat
- Suffix: ed

Word: Remade
- Prefix: Re
- Word: made
- Suffix: (blank) — since "made" is the base, and "re-" is prefix, no suffix needed.

Word: Unmade
- Prefix: Un
- Word: made
- Suffix: (blank)

Now, check if all parts are from the given list.

Given prefixes: Dis, Re, Un, Mis — all used.

Base words: able, Wash, Spoil, paint, treat, made — all used except possibly "able" is used in disable.

Suffixes: er, ed — used in washer, spoiled, unpainted, mistreated.

For disable, remade, unmade, no suffix, which is fine.

In the bottom grid, "able" is listed, so it's available as a base word.

Also, "made" is listed as a base word, even though it's past tense, but for this exercise, it's acceptable.

So now, let's fill the table:

| | Prefix | Word | Suffix |
|----------|--------|--------|--------|
| Disable | Dis | able | |
| Spoiled | | Spoil | ed |
| Unpainted| Un | paint | ed |
| Washer | | Wash | er |
| Mistreated| Mis | treat | ed |
| Remade | Re | made | |
| Unmade | Un | made | |

But in the suffix column for disable, remade, unmade, we leave blank.

Is "able" considered a base word? Yes, in this context.

Also, note that "paint" is used in unpainted, and "treat" in mistreated, etc.

All seem to match.

Now, to confirm, let's see if any word is missing or extra.

Words given: Disable, Spoiled, Unpainted, Washer, Mistreated, Remade, Unmade — 7 words.

We have filled all.

In the base words, we used: able, Spoil, paint, Wash, treat, made, made — "made" is used twice, which is fine since it's available.

Suffixes: ed used multiple times, er once.

Prefixes: Dis, Un, Mis, Re, Un — Un used twice.

All good.

So the final answer is the completed table.

Final Answer:
| | Prefix | Word | Suffix |
|----------|--------|--------|--------|
| Disable | Dis | able | |
| Spoiled | | Spoil | ed |
| Unpainted| Un | paint | ed |
| Washer | | Wash | er |
| Mistreated| Mis | treat | ed |
| Remade | Re | made | |
| Unmade | Un | made | |
