Prefixes, unlike suffixes, do not change the grammatical character of a word, and the newly formed words belong to the same parts of speech as their bases. English, as an analytical language, uses prefixes and suffixes, but to a lesser extent than Ukrainian. The use of prefixes in English often reflects the negation, absence or change of the meaning of a word. Suffixes in English are used to form different forms of words and to express grammatical categories.

The study of these morphemes reveals the versatility of the language system, contributes to the enrichment of linguistic richness and improves linguistic expression.
