Learning Competency: Give the expanded definitions of words.


(EN10V-IIIa-13.9)
 State the correct expanded definition of words using adjectives and affixes; and

 Use expanded words in sentences.

An extended definition may explain the word’s etymology or historical roots, describes sensory characteristics of
something (how it looks, feels, sounds, taste, smells), identifies its parts, indicates how something is used, explains
what it is not used, provides an example of it, and/or notes similarities or differences between this term and other
words or things.

Expanded or extended definition of words recognizes the meaning a word may take through the use of contextual
clues, adjectives, and affixes.

What are context clues?


Context clues provide further information about a word or phrase that helps readers understand its meaning. These
clues offer insight – either directly or indirectly - into the portion of text that is difficult to understand.

Example:
Word: idyllic
Clues: sunny, warm, and perfect for a walk in the park.
Sentence: It was an idyllic day.

What is an adjective?
Adjectives are words that modify or clearly define the nouns and pronouns to use in your speaking and writing. You can
usually tell whether a word is an adjective if it answers the questions what kind, how many, or which one.
Adjectives may derive from nouns. Salty, mountainous, and colorful are adjectives derived from nouns. It may become an
adjective simply by being used to describe another noun as in salty water, mountainous area, and colorful flowers.
Examples: angry, bitter, sweet, beautiful, chubby, cloudy, noisy, rare, quiet, smart, deadly, fancy, tall, etc.

Words a, an, and the are special adjectives called articles. The is the definite article. It points out one specific person, place,
thing, or idea. A and an are indefinite articles. They are less specific.
Examples: Hand me the pen, please. (one specific pen)
Hand me a pen, please. (any pen)

What are affixes?


Affixes are a set of letters/syllables generally added at the beginning or end of a root word to modify its meaning. The two
main types of affixes are prefixes and suffixes.
Prefix is a syllable/word part that may be added at the beginning of a base word or root word.
Example:
Root word = touch
Prefix = un
New word = untouch
Suffix is a syllable/word part that may be added after the base word or root word.
Example:
Root word = touch
Suffix = able
New word = touchable
