Today's goal

At the end of this lesson 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: It's a treat to watch Arsenal play so well nowadays! I watched the replay of that second goal five times.

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

play-replay (re- = again/back)
