    The document discusses affixation processes in English words. It explains how nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs can be derived from other parts of speech by adding prefixes and suffixes. For nouns, common suffixes include -ness, -ity, -ship, -ment, -tion, and -er. For verbs, suffixes such as -ize, -ify, and re- are used. Adjectives are often derived from nouns using suffixes like -ful, -less, and -ic or from verbs with suffixes such as -able and -ive. Adverbs are typically formed by adding -ly to an adjective.

    Revere and Dawes decided to continue on to Concord,


    Massachusetts where weapons and supplies were secretly
    hidden. There, they were joined by a third rider, Dr. Samuel
    Prescott. Soon after, all three were unjustly arrested by a
    British patrol. Prescott escaped almost immediately, and
    Dawes soon after. Revere was held a longer amount of time
    but later released. Left without a horse, Revere returned to
    Lexington in time to witness part of the battle on the
    Lexington Green.
