WORDS PARTS ANALYSIS

ROOTS
A word's root is the most basic part, or building blocks. It is as fundamental to a word's meaning as a root is to a plant.

PREFIXES
Attaching a prefix to the front of a word changes its meaning. Different prefixes will change the meaning in different ways.

SUFFIXES
Suffixes are word parts that are added tot he end of a word. They consist of one or more letters and usually don't change the meaning of a word as much as prefixes do, although they can change word to the present, past, or future tense.
