Suffixes and prefixes are both affixes. An affix is a few letters that go to the front or the end of a word to change it. Suffixes go in back; prefixes go in front.
Example of a suffix:
"ism" is a suffix meaning the base word (the word you attach the suffix to) is something you do or follow. Paganism is a very old religion (although things like Wicca that are related to Paganism are called Neo-pagan; neo means new).
Example of a prefix:
As I said previously, "neo" is a prefix meaning new. Let's look at something we all know and hate: Neopets! The name literally means "new pets" (which is ironic, considering Neopets has been around almost since before I was born, and most certainly isn't new).
If you need more help, go buy an outdated textbook from an elementary school at the end of the year. That's how my mom used to get supplies when she was teaching me the basics. A school in your area might have an old or damaged textbook they'd be willing to sell for cheap.
