10 graders - Word formation

I found this video from Cambridge which helps you with this topic. 

Have a look!

Word formation: prefixes

Prefixes - particles used in the beginning of the words to give them a meaning.

Now, you'll have a look at 4 prefixes used in the English language that mean "the opposite".

They are: il-, im-, ir-, in-.

How do you use them? No problem!! Read the information below.

il - for words that begin with "l" (yes, there will be double "l");

im - for words that begin with "m", "p", "b" (consonants, where you have to use both your lips to produce the sound). And yes, there will be double consonant;

ir - for words that begin with "r" (double consonant);

in - no rule.

Complete the sentences below and send them to me as comment.

1. My children are growing and becoming more ______________ (dependent).
2. Anyway, I still have to teach them not to be so _______________ (responsible)
3. And be able to say "no" to some ___________ (legal) things.
4. I think they aren't so ___________ (mature) as they were before.
5. A parent shoudn't be so ______________ (patient), because in the end, the children grow!
