There are two primary types of suffixes in English: 1  A derivational suffix (such as the addition of-ly to an adjective to form an adverb) indicates what type of word it is. 2  An inflectional suffix (such as the addition of-s to a noun to form a plural) tells something about the word's grammatical behavior.
Prefixes are groups of words that you can add onto a root word to change its meaning. For example, a root word could be 'happy.' You could add the prefix 'un' to make the word 'unhappy.' Some prefixes can have more than one meaning and it can take a bit of practice to figure them out. You can use prefixes to help you figure out unfamiliar words. That's helpful on vocab quizzes and on standardized tests.
