Do adjectives get conjugated?
The term conjugation is applied only to the inflection of verbs, and not of other parts of speech (inflection of nouns and adjectives is known as declension).
Where do prefixes get added to words?
The prefix is added in front of the base word (pre- means before) to create a new word with a different meaning. For example, if you add the prefix dis- to the word like, you get dislike—the opposite of like.
Which suffixes are used to form adjectives?
Many adjectives are formed from a base of a different class with a suffix (e.g. -less, -ous). Adjectives can also be formed from other adjectives, especially by the negative prefixes (un-, in- and non-). The most common suffixes are -al, -ent, -ive, -ous, -ful, -less.
