Affixes are small word particles, usually a few letters, added to the root word to change its meaning or grammatical properties.Most affixes are just one or two syllables, and some like -s & -es are just sounds.

Suffixes are like affixes that come at the end of a word, after the root word. Unlike prefixes which mostly change a word's meaning, suffixes are mainly used for grammar purposes.

Prefixes are affixes that come at the beginning of a word before the root word.
