Grammar Support

Word Formation

  1. Классификация частей речи

Все слова делятся на разряды, называемые частями речи.

Noun

(имя существительное)

Имя существительное – часть речи, обозначающая предмет и отвечающая на вопрос «кто? что?» Имена существительные обычно сопровождаются артиклями и часто сочетаются с предлогами. Артикли и предлоги являются основными признаками существительного:

a book, the book- книга

on the floor- на полу, under the chair- под стулом.

Adjective

(имя прилагательное)

Имя прилагательное – часть речи, обозначающая признак предмета и отвечающая на вопрос « какой?» Имена прилагательные в английском языке не изменяются ни по родам , ни по числам, ни по падежам.

Имена прилагательные в английском языке могут только изменяться по степеням сравнения,

например: big, bigger, the biggest

большой, больше, самый большой

Verb

(глагол)

Глагол — часть речи, обозначающая действие или состояние лица или предмета. Глагол отвечает на вопрос ’’What does the person (thing) do? ’’, ’’ What is done to the person (thing)?

например: sleep — спать,write — писать, do — делать.

Adverb

(наречие)

Наречие — часть речи, указывающая на признак действия или на обстоятельства, при которых протекает действие. Наречие относится к глаголу и отвечает на вопросы: « как?», «где?»,

« когда?», «почему?», «каким образом?»,

например: here — здесь, lately- последнее время, loudly — громко.

Pronoun

(местоимение )

Местоимение- часть речи, употребляемая вместо имени существительного. Местоимения обозначают признак предмета, не называя его, обладают категориями рода и числа, например: he — он, his — его, himself- сам, something – что-то

Numeral

(имя числительное)

Имя числительное- часть речи, обозначающая количество или порядок предметов,

например: ten — десять, the tenth – десятый.

Conjunction

(союз)

Союз – служебная часть речи, соединяющая слова, фразы, предложения,

например: and-и, а; because — потому что; but – но

Preposition

(предлог)

Предлоги – служебные слова, указывающие на связь существительных или местоимений с другими словами в предложении,

например: on- на, in- в, above- над.

Article

(артикль)

Артикль — служебное слово, определяющее существительное, например: a, an – неопределенный артикль,

the – определенный артикль

    1. Правила орфографии

  1. При добавлении суффикса ful к слову, оканчивающемуся на –ll, вторая l опускается:

skill + ful = skilful.

  1. Нечитаемая буква “e” в конце слова обычно опускается, если суффикс начинается с гласной буквы:

drive + er =driver.

  1. Нечитаемая буква “e” в конце слова не опускается, если суффикс начинается с согласной (-ful, -ness, -ment, -ly –less и др.):

hope + less = hopeless.

Исключения из этого правила:

true – truly,

due – duly,

argue – argument,

wide – width,

wise – wisdom,

nine – ninth,

whole – wholly.

  1. При добавлении суффиксов –able и –ous к слову, оканчивающемуся на –ee или –ge, буква “e”, как правило, сохраняется:

change + able = changeable.

  1. Если слово оканчивается на букву “y” с предшествующей согласной, при добавлении суффикса “y” меняется на “i” (исключение – суффикс -ing):

happy + ness = happiness.

  1. В словах, оканчивающихся на “y” с предшествующей гласной при добавлении суффиксов буква “y” сохраняется:

employ + ment = employment.

  1. В односложных словах, оканчивающихся на одну согласную, при добавлении суффикса конечная согласная удваивается:

rob + er = robber.

  1. Словообразование при помощи аффиксов

Многие новые слова в английском языке образуются путем аффиксации, когда к началу или концу слова (корня) прибавляются префиксы en-joy, dislike, re-read или суффиксы develop-ment, self-ish.

Аффиксы – префиксы и суффиксы. Префиксы стоят в начале слова, а суффиксы – в конце.

Префиксы, как правило, изменяют значение слова, но не меняют его принадлежности к той или иной части речи:

order (существительное) порядок — disorder (существительное) беспорядок.

Суффиксы служат для образования одной части речи из другой:

beauty (существительное) красота – beautiful (прилагательное) красивый.

  1. Словообразование при помощи префиксов

    1. Префиксы с отрицательным значением

Префиксы с отрицательным значением – un-, in-, dis-, non-.

Un-

comfortable – uncomfortable,

limited — unlimited.

Префикс un иногда присоединяется к глаголам для выражения противоположного действия:

to load — to unload,

to lock — to unlock,

In-

ability — inability,

complete — incomplete.

Перед l префикс inпревращается в il-, перед r – в ir-, а перед m и p — в im-:

legal — illegal,

regular — irregular,

patient — impatient.

Dis

Этот префикс выражает отрицание или противоположное действие:

отрицание противоположное действие

to like – to dislike, to appear – to disappear,

honest – dishonest, to arm — to disarm.

Non

Слова с префиксом non- чаще всего пишутся через дефис:

conductor – non-conductor.

    1. Префиксы различных частей речи

Существительные почти не имеют характерных префиксов. Префиксы существительных в основном совпадают с префиксами глаголов и прилагательных, т. к. они встречаются в существительных, образованных от этих частей речи: reconstruction, disarmament.

К наиболее распространенным префиксам прилагательных относятся:

un- : unhappy, unequal;

in- : incomplete, indifferent.

Наиболее характерные префиксы глаголов:

re- : to reread, to reconstruct,

dis- : to disarm, to disappear.

Наречия и числительные образуют новые формы с помощью суффиксов. (См. грамматический справочник п. 2.4, 2.5)???????????????

Word formation is of crucial importance in language learning. It gives a chance to enrich the vocabulary with the help of already-known roots and words. In this article, we will discuss affixation (adding suffixes and prefixes to the root) as a great word formation tool.

1. It is important for learners to know how to form nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. If the teacher intends to devote the lesson to noun formation suffixes, he/she may prepare a poster activity with a chart of different noun formation suffixes.

Learners are given a pack of verbs and they need to classify these verbs according to the appropriate noun formation suffIx (e.g. move, friend, revise, appear). This is a very useful activity since the learners work in groups and they come up with the forms rather than being provided with them. See an example of the chart below.

The same activity can be applied while teaching adjective or verb formation suffixes or prefixes.

2. A maze, aimed at recapping suffixes and prefixes, is a great revision activity of word formation. Students try to exit the maze looking for words which follow the same word formation rules. The task might be the following:

  • find the right path choosing adjectives whose opposites start with the prefix in-.
  • find adjectives which form nouns by adding ance/ ity, etc
  • find the words with the correct word formation.

Students are timed and it adds extra competition spirit into the activity.
See an example of the maze activity here.

3. 3. The teacher prepares two sets of word card: prefixes/suffixes and words that fit the chosen prefixes/suffixes to create new words. Students select one card from the Words pile and try to match it with the appropriate prefix /suffix to make a new word, note the new word down, put the Words card aside, and continue until they have no Words cards left. They can play individually/in pairs, in groups, against the clock or against each other to make as many correct words as possible.

The example provided here is targeted at revising noun suffixes -ment, -tion, and -sion.

Parts of Speech Bingo is an old but a tried-and-tested way of not only teaching but also revising word formation. Teacher selects words he/she intends the students to revise and prepares bingo cards. The game can be played either in this way when learners call out names of parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb), students cross out one word at a time (even if they have several nouns on their bingo card) or read out a sentence with a gap. Students who have the fitting word say it out loud and cross it out.

5. Students stand/sit in a circle, you (or any other student) select a category (word building suffix or prefix), students pass the ball around saying the words without repeating them and you monitor whether they are correct. The first person to say the wrong word/not say anything at all is eliminated (leaves the circle). The game goes on until there are two players left. Change suffixes/prefixes for each new round. It is a super engaging game and helps the learners dig deep to find a word which fits the category.

All these games are nice tools to help learners memorize word formation affixes. In order to reinforce the material, learners may be asked to come up with sentences where they need to use some of the given words, make up stories, ask questions to their partners. In this way, the knowledge of these words seems more purposeful to them and they enjoy this great way of expanding their vocabulary.
