  Let us now talk about word family, prefixes and suffixes. We have already discussed about the formation of word family. There are only four members in this family. They are NOUN, VERB, ADJECTIVE and ADVERB. These are the content or main words of the English language. They are closely related to each other. All other parts of speech, articles and modals etc are GRAMMATICAL WORDS.  If we want to learn the English language we must be familiar with the word families. So my humble suggestion is; Take some words of your choice and write down the word families with the help of a good dictionary. Let us take a few examples here;;

             NOUN------------------VERB________ADJECTIVE___________ADVERB

1. Help                               Help                    Helpful                               Helpfully
2. Courage                         x                          Courageous                        Courageously
3. Honesty                          x                          Honest                               Honestly
4. Strength                        Strengthen            Strong                                Strongly
5. Weakness                     Weaken                 Weak                                 Weakly

Now it is your turn to form as many word families as you can. Use the words in your own sentences.

            A good number of words can be formed by adding prefixes and suffixes. We shall discuss it in our next lesson.
