I'm helping my niece with her homework and I need these Definitions and examples of each word below.

~Prefix
~Suffix
~Conjunction
~Preposition
~Pronoun
~Metaphor
~Simile

I know what your thinking, no I'm not Stupid or anything. I just can't get them off the top of my head. You know when you haven't used a certain word in a while and you forget how to spell it or you haven't wrote down a sentence for a word and you forgot how it went. Well, like that.

Thanks

It is freakin annoying. They'd go "I bought three CD's yesterday." Apostrophe S signifies ownership. It just doesnt make sense. You should say "Those cds are maria's." rather than "Those cd's are maria's." Why?

It's kinda like a phobia except that it's something you don't fear...just something you want to avoid because you don't like the way it makes you feel. Like someone could just not like being in closed spaces(claustrophobia) but not so much that they call it a phobia. make any sense? Is there a better word for it?
