Word formation

There are four main kinds of word formation: prefixes, suffixes, conversion and compounds.

Prefixes

We add prefixes before the base or stem of a word.

examples	prefixes
monorail, monolingual	mono- means ‘one’
multipurpose, multicultural	multi- means ‘many’
post-war, postgraduate	post- means ‘after’
unusual, undemocratic	un- means ‘not’ or ‘opposite to’

Grammar

By teaching grammar we not only give our students the means to express themselves, but we also fulfil their expectations of what learning a foreign language involves. Fortunately, nowadays with the emphasis on a communicative approach and a wealth of stimulating resources, teaching grammar does not necessarily mean endless conjugation of verbs or grammar translation.
