Question 1:

Hard

Teacher Ana Carolina asked the students to create a story using words with prefixes and suffixes. Prefixes are morphemes that we put at the beginning of words, like 're-' in 'recomeçar', and suffixes are morphemes that we put at the end, like '-inho' in 'gatinho'. Júnior started his story with the sentence: 'The unknown astronaut landed in outer space'. Now, he wants to create new words using prefixes and suffixes. Help him think of a word using a prefix that indicates negation and a suffix that indicates place. Write the word that Júnior can use in his story and explain why it fits in this context.

Question 2:

Easy

Ana loves books and decided to organize her fairy tale bookshelf. She has several books with princess stories and some magical potions. When Ana finished arranging the books, she realized that some titles had words she didn't know, but she knew they could be formed by adding prefixes and suffixes. For example, the title 'Reencantando' is formed by the verb 'encantar' with the prefix 're' and the suffix 'ando'. Now, I want you to help Ana discover the meaning of the following words using what you know about prefixes and suffixes: 1. Desfazer (Des + fazer) - When we 'desfazemos' something, we are taking the form or meaning out of something. 2. Desamarrar (Des + amarrar) - When we 'desamarramos' something, we are untying the ties, which means we are loosening. Now, based on these examples, create a brief definition for the words: 3. Reescrever 4. Desligado

Question 3:

Medium

Studying the morphemes that come together to form words, it is possible to understand how prefixes and suffixes alter the meaning of the words we know. For example, by adding the prefix 're-' to the word 'fazer', we get 'refazer', which indicates the action of doing again. Considering the following text, in which the main character has a 'mal-' behavior (rude, bad-tempered, among others), identify the option that correctly completes the sentence in a way that maintains the meaning given by the highlighted prefix in the previous example: 'Yesterday, she behaved very _____ with her classmates in the math class.'

Question 4:

Easy

Imagine you are a word detective and your job is to discover the parts that form each one of them. Choose 3 words that you really like and write them down. Now, identify if there are any prefixes or suffixes in these words. If there are, what are they? And what new words could be formed if you exchanged these prefixes or suffixes?

Question 5:

Hard

When we read or write, we can observe that many words are formed by the combination of other smaller words. For example, if we add the prefix 'des-' in front of the word 'fazer', it becomes 'desfazer', with a different meaning from 'fazer'. Additionally, we can add the suffix '-ção' to the word 'inventar' and we will have 'invenção'. Now, imagine you are a detective of words and need to discover the meaning of the words 'descongelar' and 'corredor' by thinking about the prefixes and suffixes they have. In your opinion, what does each of these words mean and why do you think so? Explain how prefixes and suffixes help change the meaning of words.
