The main similarity of forming words is having the way of affixing in all compared languages. And all of them have the subtypes, such as 1.borrowing (prefixing), suffixing and prefix-suffix. For example, English prefixes are such particles that can be prefixed to 2.separate(full) words and it is mostly characteristic for forming verbs. Prefixes can be considered more 3.dependent (independent) than suffixes in English. They can be classified according to the nature of words in which they are used: prefixes used in notional and functional words. Prefixes used in notional words are. 4.irrelevant (proper) prefixes which are 5.semi-bound (bound) morphemes, e.g. re- (rewrite). Prefixes used in functional words are 6.bound (semi-bound)morphemes because they are met in the language as words, e.g. over- (overprotected) ( cf. over the book ).

Prefixes can be classified according to different principles:
1. Semantic classification:
a) prefixes of 7.positive(negative) meaning, such as : in- (invaluable), non- (non-morphological), un- (unhappy) etc.
b) prefixes denoting 8.planned (repetition or reversal) actions, such as: de- (deregulate), re- (redo), dis- (disappear).
c) prefixes denoting time, space, degree relations, such as: inter- (international) , hyper- (hypertension), ex- (ex-friend), pre- (pre-reading), over- (overhead) etc.

a) native (Germanic), such as: un-, over-, under- etc.
b) Romanic, such as : in-, de-, ex-, re- etc.
c) Greek, such assym-, hyper- etc.
