  • Prefix- A prefix is added at the beginning of a word

Example- Encourage. Here ‘en’ is the prefix and ‘courage’ is the root word.

                Inexplicable (In- prefix; explicable- root word)

                Refix (Re- prefix; fix- root word)

  • Suffix- A suffix is added at the end of a word.

Example- Weaken. Here ‘weak’ is the root word and ‘en’ is the suffix.

                Wanting. (Want- root word; ing- suffix)
