Morphology - an introduction: Activity 1

Activity 1: Finding word parts

From the list below, pick out the words that are complex. Can you break them down into meaningful parts?

1. bread
2. sunshine
3. fossil
4. sleepwalker
5. unhappy
6. umbrella
7. rebuild
8. laughing

There are some further questions on the next slide.

Now look at the parts of the words that you have found. Which ones can be used on their own?

Did you find other parts that can’t be used alone? See if you can label them as prefixes or suffixes.
