Ask Students to Find the Free (Root) and Bound (Affix)

question 11

Short Answer

Ask students to find the free (root) and bound (affix) morphemes in the following words: Hippopotamus (1 free), redesign (1 bound, 1 free), blessed (1 free, 1 bound), dentistry (1 free, 2 bound), calculation (1 free, 1 bound), photographer (2 free, 1 bound). Common errors will be counting syllables instead of morphemes and breaking what appears to be a compound word into two.
