Prefixes
A prefix is a word part that can be added to the beginning of a word
to change the word’s meaning. Knowing what a prefix means can help
you learn what a word means. For example, the prefix re- means again,
anew, or back/backward. The prefix in- can mean within, into, or
toward. Both the prefix in- and the prefix un- can mean not.
Write the prefix of each word. Write the word’s meaning. Then use
the word in a sentence of your own.
Prefix + Word = New Word Meaning
re + new = renew to make new again
in + side = inside on the inner side, within something
