1. what is the difference between suffix and prefix and provide an example for both?
4 answers from our tutors
Prefix: It is a letter or group of letters placed before a word. example: un, multi. unguided, multidimensional. Suffix: It is a letter or group of letters placed after a word in order to make a differently meaning word. Example: ly, ness. quick+ly = quickly dark + ness = darkness
A prefix is a word, letter, or number that comes before another word. For example: anti, pre, un, re, bi anti-virus, pre-dict, un-happy, re-turn, bi-cycle A suffix comes at the end of a word, for example: able, ate, ance trace-able, regul-ate, allow-ance

Well, by simply adding something before or after a word (its root), we can change its meaning. The difference between prefix and suffix is : In this example, the root word will be (use). Prefix = Before Ex. (Mis) + use = misuse Suffix = After Ex. Use + (ful) = Useful

Prefix - in the beginning of the word. F.e. disabled, misunderstood (dis/mis). Suffix - in the end of the word. F.e. understandable (able).

I prioritize an open-door policy, allowing my students to feel at ease when they want to discuss questions or concerns with me. I think this availability really helps to build trust and enhance our student-teacher relationship:)
