A suffix is a part of the word you put at the end of the root word. The root word is something like dance. So you would be dance + ing, so dancing. A prefix, (having PREfix, having pre mean before,) would be the part of the word that you would put at the beginning of the root word. So instead of cycle, you could have recycle.
