Rules of Prefix and Suffix
Prefix এর অর্থ - উপসর্গ এবং suffix এর অর্থ - অনুসর্গ । Prefix মূল শব্দের আগে বসে।অন্যদিকে suffix মূল শব্দের পরে বসে ইংরেজি grammar এর সবচেয়ে সহজ বিষয় হলো rules of prefix and suffix ।
কেননা, কোন একটি শব্দের আগে বা পরে এক বা একাধিক উপযুক্ত letter বা বর্ণ যোগ করলে ঐ শব্দের একটি নতুন word বা parts of speech পাওয়া যায়।আরঐ নতুন শব্দ দিয়ে একটি অর্থপূর্ণ বাক্য তৈরী করতে হয়। যেমন-
