AffixesAffixes are essentially just parts that are added to words to alter their meaning or create new
words altogether. The most common types of affixes are prefixes and suffixes.
Prefixes are attached to the front of a word, with the most common being ‘un’. You can see the
use of this prefix with a variety of verbs, where it alters the original word to give the opposite
meaning:
Undo
Unable
Unafraid
Suffixes are additions at the end of a word that alter the meaning, create a new word or change
its grammatical function. A common suffix is ‘er’, which can be attached to verbs to create a
noun, or adjective:
Trainer
Walker
Happier
