What is the difference between prefixes and suffixes?

Answer 1

A prefix comes before the word, and suffix comes after it.

A prefix is something like "un-" as in undone, unnecessary, or unheeded.

A suffix is something like "-less" as in helpless, useless, or timeless.

Answer 2

Hey !

A prefix comes before the main word. For example: underrated, here 'under' is the prefix.

A suffix comes after the main word. For example: speechless. here 'less' is the suffix.

I hope you got it.

Thank You

Answer 3

Prefixes are added to the beginning of a word to modify its meaning, while suffixes are added to the end of a word. For example, "un-" is a prefix that means "not," so "unhappy" means "not happy." In contrast, "-ness" is a suffix that turns an adjective like "sad" into a noun, like "sadness."

Answer 4

Prefixes go in front of a word and suffixes go at the end of a word. For example... take the word tidy. You can add a prefix to make untidy or a suffix to make tidyness.

Answer 5

A suffix is something like "-less"
