    Root words

    Definition
    The root is the part of the word that contains the basic meaning (definition) of the word. The root is the base element of the word.

    Example
    Root : act root (act) : means "do" or "perform" act (root): "do" sentence: You act like a child.

    prefix

    Definition

    A prefix changes the word's meaning or makes a new word.

    Example
    Prefix: rePrefix (re-): means "back" or "again" react (prefix + root): "do back" sentence: How will she react when she hears the news?

    Suffix

    Definition
    A suffix is a word element that is placed after the root. The suffix changes the word's meaning as well as its function (use). Prefixes and suffixes are called affixes because they are attached to a root.

    Example:
    Suffix: -ion Suffix (-ion): indicates that the word has become a noun reaction (prefix + root + suffix): something done back sentence: Her reaction to the news was childish
