Prefix and Suffix
Prefix in the front
Suffix at the end
Root word is in the middle
And that’s just what it is
It changes and modifies the word in between
So if you understand then say it with me
These is prefixes and all of their meanings
Anti means against
And De is opposite
Super is above and inter is between
And if you ever see Re that mean do it all again
Mid is middle and sub is under
Over mean just what it says its over
And non means not
Trans is across
Now those are prefixes you have just been taught
HOOK
Prefix in the front
Suffix at the end
Root word is in the middle
And that’s just what it is
It changes and modifies the word in between
So if you understand then say it with me
Now these are suffixes and all of their meanings
The letters ES or S means its more than one
If you ever see able it mean it can be done
Full is full of and you know less is without
Root word in the middle now let's plan it out
You have prefix going north and heading south
If you don’t know a word you can sound it out
Or use prefixes and suffixes because that’s the smart route
