1. 
   Activating the background knowledge about the topic. How many types of affixes do you know? How affixes can help create words?
   
2. 
   Watch the video and discuss. Are there any other prefixes, infixes and suffixes besides mentioned in the video? How many prefixes and suffixes in modern English?

What is the difference between affixes and semiaffixes? Are semiaffixes and combining forms the same notions?
   
3. 
   How prefixes and suffixes can be classified? Draw the diagram of classification of prefixes and suffixes in diachronic and synchronic aspects.
