French prefixes and suffixes are cool building blocks that change the meaning of words in interesting ways! Let’s explore how they work:

Prefixes:

• Change Meaning: When you add "re-" to the word "faire," which means "to do," you get "refaire," meaning "to redo."
• Negation: The prefixes "in-" or "im-" can flip the meaning of words. For example, "possible" becomes "impossible."

Suffixes:

• Change Word Class:
  • The suffix "-tion" turns action words (verbs) into things (nouns). For instance, "informer" (to inform) becomes "information."
  • The suffix "-able" changes verbs into describing words (adjectives). For example, "manger" (to eat) becomes "mangeable," meaning "edible" or "can be eaten."

Usage Tips:

• By noticing these changes, you can understand conversations better.
• They also make your language more colorful and exciting!

Learning about these prefixes and suffixes can really help you grow your vocabulary and feel more confident when speaking!
