BACK TO WORKSHEETSDiminutives are words that indicate a smaller version of something. They are often made by adding a prefix or a suffix to the root word.
For example:
mini + bus = minibus (a small bus)
pig + let = piglet (a small pig)
In this worksheet, students practise adding prefixes and suffixes such as mini-, -ette and -ling to form diminutives.
