Prefix or Suffix?

Can you hear what fits
before the root of a word
before the word is heard
That’s the prefix there it sits
once it becomes applied
the word is modified.
Like dis - discover
Tri - triangle
Sub - submarine, subterranean, and subway
Now that the word has changed
there will be something new for us to say
Can you hear what fits
after the root of a word
after the word is heard
That’s the suffix there it sits
once it becomes applied
the word is modified
Like ful - eventful
ing - beginning
Ness - happiness, thoughtfulness, goodness, and kindness
Now that the word has changed
there will be something new for us to say
Here’s a few prefixes just for you
anti, counter, extra, hyper, ultra, semi - just to name a few
Now that we know what suffixes
