1. Derivation:
- Example 1: The noun "friend" can be transformed into the adjective "friendly" by adding the suffix "-ly" to indicate a characteristic of being friendly.
- Example 2: The verb "act" can be transformed into the noun "actor" by adding the suffix "-or" to indicate a person who performs the action of acting.

2. Compounding:
- Example 1: The words "book" and "shelf" can be combined to form the compound word "bookshelf" to refer to a piece of furniture used for storing books.
- Example 2: The words "sun" and "glasses" can be combined to form the compound word "sunglasses" to refer to eyewear that protects the eyes from the sun.
