Can you give prefixes ness and ment?

You're asking for suffixes, not prefixes. Here's a breakdown:

* -ness is a suffix that turns adjectives into nouns. It often indicates a state, quality, or condition.

* Examples:

* happy + ness = happiness

* sad + ness = sadness

* kind + ness = kindness

* dark + ness = darkness

* -ment is a suffix that often turns verbs into nouns. It indicates an action, process, or result.

* Examples:

* move + ment = movement

* improve + ment = improvement

* agree + ment = agreement

* develop + ment = development
