What are Prefixes?

A prefix is a small part of a word that comes before the main word. It changes the meaning of the word!

Let's learn about some prefixes:

un- means not or opposite. Example: happy → unhappy (not happy)

re- means again. Example: write → rewrite (write again)

Circle the prefix in each word.
