📝 Explanation:
An
affix is a morpheme (meaningful unit) added to a base word to change its meaning or grammatical function.
-
Prefixes go at the beginning (e.g., *un-* in *unhappy*, *re-* in *rewrite*).
-
Suffixes go at the end (e.g., *-ed* for past tense, *-ing* for present continuous, *-ly* for adverbs, *-ment* for nouns).
In this exercise, we identified words where affixes were clearly attached to base words to form new meanings.
