PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES
PREFIXES
SUFFIXES
Prefixes are added to the beginning of a
word to make a new word with a
different meaning.
Suffixes are added to the end of a main
word. This often changes the word to a
different part of speech.
For
example
Unhappy
Illegal
Impossible
MulticulturaL
For
example
Harmless
Restful
Childish
Likeable
➢ Some suffixes and prefixes are part of
our living language in that people
regularly use them to create new
words for modern products, concepts
or situations.
➢ For example email. The prefix e
stands for electronic and so we see a
growing number of internet related
words being formed such as e–book
and e-commerce.
➢ It is helpful to know the meanings of
the prefixes and suffixes to then
understand the meaning of words.
