Formation of Adjectives
Many adjectives do not have prefixes or suffixes.
E.g.
• good, tall, fat, wide, simple, gaunt.
However, adjectives may be formed by adding prefixes
(before a word) or suffixes (after a word).
E.g.
• illegal, insensitive, rusty, childish,
merciless, enjoyable.
Usually adjectives are formed by adding suffixes to nouns.
E.g.
• baggy, hairy, hairless, burdensome,
quarrelsome, beautiful.
