Prefixes and Suffixes

(Voorvoegsels en Achtervoegsels)

Today's goal

At the end of this  lesson I can correctly form and use prefixes and suffixes

Prefixes + Suffixes

They both change the meaning of the word.

Prefixes are letters you can place before a word. 

Suffixes are letters that go at the end of a word.
