Prezi - Latest contents and TASK 5

TASK 5) Inflection and derivation

Step 1: Review our class with the prezi below.

Step 2: Post a comment in which you write a sentence that contains an example of derivation and one of inflection. CAPITALIZE the words/expressions you want your classmates to guess.

For example:

" My sentence:

Last year I READ Andre Agasis' AUTOBIOGRAPHY and it was really cool. "

A possible response post:

" READ - inflection (it's a verb in the past because the grammar dictates it: last year).
AUTOBIOGRAPHY - derivation. It derives from "biography". Nothing in the grammar of the sentence obliges me to say "autobiography", it could be book, magazine, etc.....

Here's my sentence:

..........................................."

And then the next person responds and posts a different sentence.

Have fun!

The prezi below is the one I have been using lately:
