Question

Prefixes are added to the _____ of a word to change or modify its meaning.

Answer 1

Prefixes are added to the front of a word to change or modify its meaning. For example, if we add the prefix -il to literate, we would get its antonym (the word that has the opposite meaning) illiterate.
We would add an infix in the middle of a word.
We would add a suffix to the end of a word.
