Affixes are bound morphemes attached to base forms to modify meaning or grammatical function, and in the structure of Modern English they are broadly classified into derivational and inflectional categories. Derivational affixes create new words by altering the meaning or the lexical category of the base. They may be prefixes, such as un- in unhappy or mis- in mislead, or suffixes, such as -ness in happiness, -ity in purity, and -er in teacher. These affixes often change the grammatical class of the root: the adjective happy becomes _________ ________ __________ _________ ______ _________ ______ ____ _______ ___ ___.
