Prefixes and Suffixes

Today's goal

At the end of this lesson I know what prefixes and suffixes are.

I can correctly form and use prefixes and suffixes.

Find out the rule

Example A: Don't get me wrong, I like the idea that people want to visit my city. It's just that I absolutely dislike all the mess they leave behind.

Example B: He is this years intern. He is doing his internship at this company. 

Ask SS to read these 2 examples and what the differences are

like-dislike (dis- = not/the opposite)

play-replay (re- = again/back)

Prefixes

Letters you place BEFORE a word

They change the meaning of the word

Examples: 

non- /un-/ im-/ il-/ in-/ ir-/ dis-

re-

mis-            

These prefixes all mean 'not' or 'the opposite'

non-             sense -> nonsense

un-               used -> unused

im-               possible -> impossible

il-                  legal -> illegal

in-                compatible -> incompatible

ir-                 responsible -> irresponsible

dis-             appear -> disappear

Re- means 'again', or 'back'

act -> react

play -> replay

turn -> return

mis- means 'wrong' or 'not'

place -> misplace

understand -> misunderstand

Do you remember?

re- means?

mis- means?

re- means again/back

mis- means wrong/not
