In this lesson, you will learn how to use prefixes and suffixes in English to expand your vocabulary and improve your language skills. A prefix appears at the beginning of a word and changes the word's original meaning, while a suffix is usually attached to the end of a word to form a new word, as well as alter the way it works grammatically. Here are the main ones and their translation in several languages. 😊
