• Leerjaar 2

Welcome! Can you guess what this is?

It's a coffee bean!

Today's goal

At the end of these 2  lessons I can correctly form and use prefixes and suffixes

Prefixes / Voorvoegsels

Komen vóór het woord

Veranderen de betekenis van het woord

These prefixes all mean 'not' (niet) or

 'the opposite' (tegenovergestelde)

non-             sense ->            nonsense

un-               used ->               unused

im-               possible ->        impossible

il-                  legal ->                illegal

in-                compatible ->  incompatible

ir-                 responsible -> irresponsible

dis-             appear ->           disappear

Re- means 'again' (opnieuw) or 'back' (terug)

act ->      react

play ->    replay

turn ->    return

visit ->    revisit

mis- means 'wrong' (verkeerd) or 'not' (niet)

place ->               misplace

understand -> misunderstand

use ->                  misuse

behave ->          misbehave

                                                                                                              7 questions
