Punctuation
Parenthes


Parentheses or brackets are used to surround in a sentence that isn't essensial to the meaning of the whole sentence.
Example:Many great thinkers(eg Galileo, Newton, and Einstein) achieved what they did by going against conventional thought.
Parantheses are also often used to add further comment and interest to sentences.

Prefix

Prefix is a word-begining that is attached to a stem word to change its meaning.
Some common prefix:
-The prefix un-, non-, in-, im-, il- and ir- changes a stem word to its opposite meaning.(eg kind become unkind)
-The meaning of the prefix mis- is to expresses incorrectness.(eg use become misuse)
-The meaning of the prefix re-  is to do again.(eg replace)

Suffixes

A suffix is a word-ending that is attached to a stem word to change its meaning.
There are two types of suffix:
-Inflectional suffix

An inflectional suffix doesn't change the function that a stem word serves in a sentence.
A derivactional suffix changes a function of a stem word.
