I have to do this task.Please, help me with it.I have to divide these antonyms into 3 groups : derivational,root and mixed antonyms.(but I don�t understand meaning of these 3 words)
Begin ,finish, hot ,cold, buy , sell, legal , illegal,start,low ,high, useless, useful, pre
- war , post -war, dislike, like, last ,first, early , late, expensive, cheap,dry, wet , careful, careless
root words are words which have neither a suffix, nor a prefix, they are basic words. (begin, finish, hot, cold, buy, sell, legal, start, low, high, like, last, first, early, late, cheap, dry, wet)
derivational words are made by adding a suffix or a prefix to a root word (illegal, useless, useful, dislike, expensive, careful, careless)
mixed (compound) words consist of words that can stand on their own with their own meaning, but when compound, they bear a new or different meaning...(post-war, pre-war)
