PREFIXES & SUFFIXES
In today's lesson, Kevin teaches you how to identify and use prefixes and suffixes.
NOTE: At 4:45 in the video, we cover the word "enjoyable." We mention the suffix ("-able"), but there is also a prefix we neglected. That prefix is "en-," meaning "within." To "enjoy" something means to find joy WITHIN it.
