Hi!!!

Hope you are doing well.

Afflixes are classified into prefixes and suffixes. Compound words are formed when two or more words are joined together to create a new word that has an entirely new meaning.

For example :- "sun" and "flower" are two different words, but when fused together, they form another word, Sunflower.

Hope you are doing well. Feel free to ask if you have any other queries. All The Best!!!
