Understanding Prefixes and Suffixes
Prefixes and suffixes are added to root words to change their meanings or grammatical function. For example, adding 'un-' to 'happy' creates 'unhappy,' which means not happy. Similarly, adding '-ness' to 'kind' creates 'kindness,' which refers to the state or quality of being kind. Proper understanding of these affixes helps in expanding vocabulary and improving spelling accuracy.
