Overall Review

Morphology

Invent a word using this root : VACUUM

1. by adding a prefix to this base (make sure that there are no constrains to the combination).

2. And then adding a suffix.3. Draw the structure (tree) of the two words that

you have just created. 4. What are the lexical categories of these words?
