Comment on the following two sentences to illustrate the differences between conversion and affixation. A. They room right next to me. B. She tried to beautify her room with posters and plants.
【正确答案】：　Both room and beauty are nouns, but room in sentence A is used as a verb without changing the form, which beauty cannot be used as a verb without adding an affix as in sentence B. Sentence A is a case of conversion or zero-derivation whereas sentence B is one of the suffixation as the suffix---ify is added to make beauty a verb.
