What is Prefixes and Suffixes?

Prefix-A prefix is a word part added to the beginning of a root word.
-A prefix changes the meaning of a word.


example:
Randy’s bike tire was flat.  He couldn’t find the pump because the garage was in disorder.  “It’s hopeless,” said Randy.  “I’ll never make it to the soccer game on time.”


base word is order, and prefix is disorder

Suffixes
-A suffix is a word part added to the end of a root word.
-A suffix also changes the meaning of a word.


example:
See, I can be likable!” said Jake with a grin.


base word is like, and the suffixes is likable.
