a prefix is a word that hooks onto the beginning of a word, and a suffix is a word that hooks on to the end of the word.

For example, forgive becomes UNforgiveABLE

typICAL

happyNESS…..happILY UNhappyNESS

A prefix is letters added to the beginning of a base word to change the meaning, the most common are-un, re, pre, dis

A suffix is letters added to a base word to change its meaning, such as able, ness, less, ly, these are some of the more common

adding ed is not a suffix, it is an inflected ending.

rewrite, unforgiveable, retype, unhappy, writeable, forgiveness, typeable, happiness, happily

prefixes are letters you tack on to the beginning of a word to change the meaning. Suffixes are letters you tack on to the end of a word to change the meaning (normally used when changing the tense of a verb)

suffix+write=writen

suffix+happy=happiest

prefix(un)+forgive+suffix(in)=unforgivin

The correct spelling is unhappiness.

The Y changes to an I in this instance.

rewritten, retyped, unhappy, happiness, unforgiven
