Question

Write a sentence using a word with the prefix 'im-' or suffix '-ment'.

Answer 1

Hint: A prefix is a group of letters that are added to a word at the beginning, to change or alter its meaning. It does not have any meaning of its own. A suffix is a group of letters that are added at the end of the word, to change or alter its meaning. It also does not have any independent meaning.

Complete answer:
From the hint given to us, we know that a prefix is a group of letters that are added to a word at the beginning, to change or alter its meaning. It does not have any meaning of its own. We also know that a suffix is a group of letters that are added at the end of the word, to change or alter its meaning. It also does not have any independent meaning.
We shall be using a word that has been prefixed for our sentence.
It is impossible to not laugh at the jokes of the comedian, Amy Schumer.
Here, the prefix ‘im-’ has been added to the word possible. It indicates the opposite of possible. Possible means something which has a likelihood of happening.

Note: A suffix or a prefix may not have a literal meaning but they do have a grammatical meaning to them. However, certain suffixes and prefixes acquire grammatical meaning due to being used in a given context frequently. For example, ‘-ing’ indicates present participle, ‘un-’ is used to form the opposite, ‘-ed’ indicates past tense, etc. One must be familiar with prefixes and suffixes to solve such questions correctly.
