Letters or groups of letters that are added to the beginning of a base word to change its meaning. These prefixes can convey ideas such as negation, repetition, opposition, or spatial or temporal relationships. For example:

un- + happy = unhappy (meaning "not happy").
re- + do = redo (meaning "to do again").
pre- + view = preview (meaning "to see before").

letters or groups of letters added to the end of a base word to change its meaning or grammatical function. Suffixes can indicate things like tense, plurality, or parts of speech (e.g., converting a noun to an adjective). For example:

-ness + happy = happiness (changing "happy" into a noun).
-ly + quick = quickly (turning the adjective "quick" into an adverb).
-ed + walk = walked (indicating past tense).

To summarize in English, focus on capturing the main points or ideas of the original text using clear, concise language. Use conclusion connectors to signal the end of the summary and reinforce the main takeaways. Common conclusion connectors include:

In conclusion: to introduce the final statement or wrap-up.
To sum up: to briefly list or summarize key points.
In summary: for a quick overview of the main ideas.
Overall: to present a general view or assessment.

For example: "In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of environmental conservation." These connectors help structure summaries clearly and effectively.
