A prefix goes at the START of a word and changes its meaning. Common ones: un- (not — unhappy), re- (again — rewrite), pre- (before — prepay), dis- (opposite — disagree), mis- (wrong — misspell).

| un- | not | unhappy, unlock |

| pre- | before | prepay, preview |
| dis- | opposite | disagree, dislike |
| mis- | wrong | misspell, misunderstand |
A suffix goes at the END and can change the word's type. -ly makes an adverb (quick → quickly). -ness makes a noun (kind → kindness). -ful means 'full of' (help → helpful). -less means 'without' (care → careless).
| Suffix | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| -ly | in this way | quickly, softly |
