3. Review: Base Words, Roots, and Affixes
A base word is a word that can stand alone and does not have a prefix or a suffix. A base word can be one or more syllables
EXAMPLES: dream, de/tail A root word is the basic meaning part of a word. It
carries the most important part of the word’s meaning. Roots of English words often come from other languages, especially Latin. The root usually needs a prefix or suffix to make it into a
word. Prefixes are meaningful word parts that can be added to
the front of base words or roots. Suffixes are meaningful word parts that can be added to
the ends of base words or roots. *(Examples to follow)*
3. EXAMPLES:
Pre- “before” • -date “to indicate the age of”
• Prefix + Base Word = New Word
•Pre + date = predate= “to date before;
to have happen before something else”
•Prefix + Root = English Word
•Pre + clude = preclude= “to close before;
to make impossible because of an earlier event”
3. EXAMPLES:
•Base Word + Suffix = New Word
•Dread + ful = dreadful= “full of dread;
terrible or unpleasant”
•Root + Suffix = New Word
•Port + able = portable= “able to be
carried”
-port “to carry” • -ful “full of”
• -able “capable of”
The present participle is formed by adding –ing to a verb. EXAMPLE:
Dream + ing = dreaming Heal + ing = healing Whistle + ing = whistling
The past participle of many verbs is formed by adding –ed or –en to a form of the verb. EXAMPLE:
Broke + en = broken Paint + ed = painted Forgot + en = forgotten
*Both present participles and past participles can function as adjectives EXAMPLES: a dreaming child, a healing scar, a whistling kettle, a broken string, a painted house, a forgotten toy

Write a short definition of the word
Workbook Page 266

3. Rewrite It: Prefix, Root, Base Word, and Suffix
Please turn to workbook page 267 Read the first sentence together Find the underlined phrase and decide what
single word could replace it Write the replacement word in the blank Reread the completed sentence to check your
work We will do the first one together Work independently to read each remaining
sentence, decide on a one-word replacement for the phrase, and write it in the blank
4. Review: Irregular Verbs
English verbs and verb phrases can convey past, present, and future time (tense) The regular past tense ending is –ed
Example: form/formed Some verbs use irregular forms to signal
time (tense). These past tense verbs do not end in –ed. Irregular past tense verb forms must be memorized. They have different endings or are spelled differently
Example: keep/kept The helping verb will signals future time
(tense)

4. Review: Commas in Dates and Addresses
In a date, a comma is used to separate the month and day from the year.
If the date is written inside a sentence, a comma is used after the year.
In an address, commas are used to separate the street number and name from the town or city, and the city from the state.
When an address appears in a sentence, a comma is used after the state.
Please turn to workbook page 269 We will do the first two together
Place commas where needed Do the rest independently
Bottom: Write a sentence that includes the date of
birth of someone you know Write a sentence that includes the address of
someone you know

Dreams are strange
Our bodies react to dreams.
Sleepwalking is bizarre.
-Dreams are hard to follow.- People come and go.- The dialog doesn’t make any sense.
-Our hearts beat quickly.- We begin to sweat a lot.- Our blood pressure goes up.
-No apparent cause.- Not aware of their behavior.- Won’t talk to you.- Can get hurt.
