all three a prefix a base word and a suffix we're gonna look at five
all right so number one we're gonna start easy unbelievable so this may be a word you have
heard before unbelievable and notice again we changed the spelling our base word is believe
but the suffix begins with a vowel so we don't need to keep that e
so let's look piece by piece and see what this means well we know our base word believe means to
think something is true or real i believe it means not and abol means able can or capable of being
so when we put it all together unbelievable means not capable of being believed or you can't cannot
believe right so oh keep losing my mouth there we go can not believe it is unbelievable you can't
even believe not possible of being believed okay so similarly next we have unstoppable
and here sometimes when we add a vowel some letters like uh t or p might need to be doubled
so our base word is stop but we had to add the second p because we have our vowel coming after it
so unstoppable again on means not a bull means can
so this would mean not capable of being stopped or cannot stop something
maybe uh i might describe my i might describe a person as unstoppable they are so um motivated
to reach their goals just like ambitious right they are unstoppable you cannot stop them
all right next we have co-worker so our base word is work we all know what work is uh something
maybe that we enjoy sometimes and not other times so co means with or together and er is person who
so if we just look at worker it is a person who works and when we add co it is a person who
works together with someone so this depends on our subject my co-worker is a person who works with me
your coworker is a person who works with you
right so co-worker is a person who works with someone co-worker
all right a couple more next we have disrespectful
so here we see our base word is respect which means um to oh how to describe respect
it is uh maybe for example i respect my parents or i respect my teachers i have i feel
that they are good people and i want to be good to them too so let's add our prefix and suffix dis
remember dis and mis mean not or opposite of and full means full of so if we just have the
word respectful this is a word that is used to describe a person who has a lot of respect so i
might say that um my young nephew is so respectful he's always so polite and kind and he is never
mean or never says the wrong thing to anyone he's so respectful
his teachers love him right when we add dis this means not or opposite of so
this word means not full of respect or opposite of respectful so if someone is disrespectful
this might be in a classroom for example a student who is talking while the teacher is talking
or who is not kind to other students and so on this is disrespectful
all right and last we have a word with a new suffix let's see if we can
figure out what it means inconsiderate so consider our base word here means to think about
so to consider means to think about in kind of a deeper way so if i consider how you feel
this means i really think about it and it changes my actions i consider your feelings before i
do something so here we have a prefix in which remember what these mean ill in m and ear mean
not right so not or opposite of and this other new common suffix means to make or to cause to be
so we might often use a word just like respectful considerate this means someone who is um
who is who considers right this is to make someone consider so if someone is considerate
they consider other people often which again means think about right so inconsiderate means
not caused to consider or the opposite of considerate so someone who
this word is kind of similar to disrespectful inconsiderate don't think about other people right
