Explanation (1)

Prefixes and suffixes are sets of letters that we add to the beginning of a word (prefix) or at the end of the word (suffix). They change the meaning of the word.

Prefixes (1)

Non– / un– / im– / il– / in– / ir– all give an opposite meaning to the word.

Examples:

1. profit --> Non-profit
2. Used --> Unused
3. Legal --> Illegal

Prefixes (2)

Re- means again, back or in response to when added in the beginning of a word.

• Turn --> Return
• Play --> Replay
• Visit --> Revisit

Prefixes (3)

Mis– is used to give a word a negative meaning when added to the beginning of a word.

Communication --> 

Dis– is also used to give a word an opposite or negative meaning.

Like --> 

Suffixes (1)

–er: You already know this suffix to create a comparative. It can also be used for a person or thing that does an action.

• fast – faster
  
• slow – slower
• win – winner
• teach -- teacher

Suffixes (2)

–ness is used to turn an adverb/adjective into a noun.

Happy --->

Kind --> 

Suffixes (3)

–ing behind a word is used for a product, material or a verb turned into a noun.

Adding –ment behind a word also changes a verb into a noun.
