Affixes are groups of letters that are added to the

beginning or the end of words to make new words. ... It is very important to teach affixation as it helps learners guess the meaning of new words they find, and construct new forms successfully.

Here are some common examples 🤗

    @BRB affixes are same as prefixes and suffixes?

    Here, as I see, only examples of the preffixes are presented.

    @Mikhail @లలిత affixes can be placed at the end or beginning if a word: prefixes are placed before; and suffixed are place at the end

    @BRB I know that the prefixes are placed before, but on the pictures you've shown us only affixes at the beginning, which usually are prefixes, aren't they?

    You mean I should search about affixation to learn them?

    @Mikhail because an affix is a type of prefix

    @Vida prefixes are also correct. Affixes are prefixes and suffixes .
