Prefixes + Suffixes

They both change the meaning of the word.

Prefixes are letters you can place before a word. 

Suffixes are letters that go at the end of a word. 

Prefixes

The following prefixes all mean ‘not’ or ‘the opposite’: 

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

sense, used, possible, legal, compatible, responsible, appear

nonsense, unused, impossible, illegal, incompatible, irresponsible, disappear

Prefixes

Re- means ‘again’ or ‘back’.

act, play, turn

react, replay, return

Mis- means ‘wrong’ or ‘not’.

place, understand
