Change Of Meaning

Worksheet Description

The Root Words worksheet is a language exercise that focuses on the concept of prefixes and how they can be combined with root words to form new words. The worksheet lists ten common prefixes such as “un,” “dis,” “pre,” “mis,” and others. Students are instructed to add a root word to each prefix to create a complete word. This activity not only helps students practice the application of prefixes but also aids in understanding the change in meaning that a prefix can apply to a word.

The worksheet is designed to teach students about the role of prefixes in word formation. It encourages them to think about which root words can logically be paired with the given prefixes to create valid English words. Through this exercise, students learn how prefixes modify meanings and how to effectively use them to expand their vocabulary. The worksheet also reinforces the students’ understanding of morphological structure, an important component of language arts education.
