Many words in the English language are formed by adding affixes—prefixes and suffixes—that change the meaning of the root word. Familiarity with Greek and Latin affixes helps students connect new and unfamiliar words, which in turn supports their understanding of word meanings. The more affixes they know, the more their vocabulary will improve! 

In this one-page grammar worksheet, students will analyze groups of words to identify the shared Greek or Latin affix. Learners will determine the meaning of the affix and then write another word that also features the affix, recording its meaning in the space provided.
