Whats a prefix and suffix?

Question

Also, if u would tell me the answer for "Adjunct", as if prefix and suffix wise.

Answer 1

A prefix is something added before a word and a suffix is something added after a word

An example of a prefix would be kilo-, as in kilogram, kilowatt, and kilometer

An example of a suffix would be -ful, as in playful, wonderful, and beautiful.

And I have no idea what you mean by "Also, if u would tell me the answer for "Adjunct", as if prefix and suffix wise." An adjunct is something added to. So a prefix and a suffix would both be adjuncts.

Answer 2

Prefix, something "fixed" to the beginning of a word.
Suffix, something "fixed" to the end of a word.

I remember the difference because the "pre-" in prefix is also used for pre-cede or pre-liminary and all sorts of other pre- words that all have to do with coming before or being first.

For instance for the root word "play" you could add the prefix "re-" to say "replay" or the suffix "-ed" to be "played," or both, "re-" and "-ed" to be "replayed."

I'm not sure what you're looking for here, but adjunct means:
–noun 1. something added to another thing but not essential to it.
2. a person associated with lesser status, rank, authority, etc., in some duty or service; assistant.
3. a person working at an institution, as a college or university, without having full or permanent status: My lawyer works two nights a week as an adjunct, teaching business law at the college.
4. Grammar. a modifying form, word, or phrase depending on some other form, word, or phrase, esp. an element of clause structure with adverbial function.
–adjective 5. joined or associated, esp. in an auxiliary or subordinate relationship.
6. attached or belonging without full or permanent status: an adjunct surgeon on the hospital staff.

So it sounds like it would be a group which includes prefixes and suffixes, I hope this helps.

Answer 3

A Prefix is a group of letters or a single letter added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning Example- Minivan In the word minivan mini is the prefix.
A group of letters or a single letter added to the end of a word to change its meaning.
Example- Walking In the word Walking ing is the suffix.

Adjunct is an addition to something.
