    Announce is a verb.

    Announcer: the suffix is - er and the word announce with the addition of the suffix - er is a noun.

    Boast is a verb.

    Boastful: the suffix is - ful and the word boast with the addition of the suffix - ful is an adjective.

    Speak is a verb.

    Misspeak: the prefix is mis - and the word speak with the addition of the prefix mis - is a verb, the prefix does not change the part of speech to which this word belongs.

    Victor is a noun.

    Victorious: the suffix is - ious and the word victor with the addition of the suffix - ious is an adjective.

    Common is an adjective.

    Uncommon: the prefix is un - and the word common with the addition of the prefix un - is an adjective, the prefix does not change the part of speech to which this word belongs to.

    Explanation:

    Suffixes are letters that we add after the root of a word (the main part of the word) to form new ones. The addition of the Suffix can change the category of a word. For example, if the root of a word is a noun when we add a suffix it turns into an adjective, like beauty and beautiful.

    Prefixes are letters that we add before the root of a word, and as well as suffixes, they can modify the part of speech of a word.
