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.
For example, âunâ is a negative prefix which will change the otherwise positive word âhappyâ into âunhappyâ. A suffix is a group of letters attached to the end of a root or word (or even group of words) serving a grammatical function. For example, a suffix can indicate the part of speech of a word just as it can modify and extend meaning.
