prefixes and suffixes are word parts we add to words to form other words. You can think of the original word as the ROOT. Plants have roots. From the roots other things grow. It is the same with English words. For example, take the word "respect." If a child gives respect to an adult the child is giving "honor" to that adult. The word respect means to give honor. If the child is always giving respect we can say the child is respectful or full of respect. However, if the child does not give honor to an adul then the child treats the adul with disrespect. Prefixes and Suffixes can also be called Afixes because we fix them onto words to make new words.

Each prefix and suffix can have more than one meaning. For example, the suffix er can mean "a person who does something" such as farmer- a person who farms, or it can mean more, such as larger - more than large. However, each afix does only have a few meanings. You can use the internet to look this up for more understanding. Simply use Google and search for prefixes and suffixes, and you will get a lot of sites to use.

Dear, Anett

a prefix goes on the begining of a sentence like un-,dis-,pre,and in.if you took the word like and added the prefix un-, to ityou get unlike wich means you dont like something.

Anonymous · Answer

Actually "unlike" means not the same as, or dissimilar. "DISlike" means you don't like something.
