WORD STUDY FEEDBACK!!!

Here's some feedback about your last word study on affixes:

WHAT WE NOTICED:

You were able to identify words with the same "word endings" or "word beginnings", but not necessarily a suffix or prefix.  For example: conductor and major have the same ending (or), but is it a suffix??

WHAT YOU MISSED:

You forgot that a prefix and suffix MUST have a Root Word (also known as a base word).  Let's look at the words "conductor" and "major". 

CON - DUCT - OR  (the prefix is "con", the root word is "duct" and the suffix is "or")

MAJ - OR (Is "maj" a word? - NO!  Therefore, 'or' in this case is NOT a suffix)

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

Review your work, make any necessary corrections and we will revisit affixes very soon!!
