The Beauty of Word Transformations
March 17th, 2025
A prefix steps in, bold and bright,
Changing words with swift delight.
"Happy" turns to "unhappy" fast,
A twist of meaning—spells are cast!
"Pre-" brings things before their time,
"Re-" repeats in perfect rhyme.
"Mis-" may lead your path astray,
While "dis-" can take the joy away.
And then the suffix, at the end,
A word’s true meaning it extends.
"-ly" makes an action smooth and sweet,
As "quick" becomes "quickly" neat.
"-ful" fills words with grace and cheer,
While "-less" can strip them bare and clear.
"-er" and "-est" compare with might,
Making tall things taller in height!
Together they shape the words we weave,
With magic rules we must believe.
A small addition, front or rear,
Can shift the way the world appears!
