 PART 2
Word building: prefixes / opposite words
PREFIXES
GEORGE WAS UNHAPPY WITH HIS JOB, SO HE LEFT.
WHAT IS A PREFIX?

• A prefix is something we add to the beginning of a word to change its meaning.

• Remember- we add a prefix to the beginning of a word and a suffix to the end of a word.
• Examples:
• George was unhappy.
• Sally is beautiful.
TYPES OF PREFIXES

• un and dis are examples of types of prefixes we can add to words.

• Un means not or the opposite of the rest of the word.
• Example- The building was unsafe.
• dis also means not.
• Example- she disagreed with me about going to college.
FIND THE PREFIXES

• In the text, where are some prefixes? Which one that we have not mentioned can you
find?

• An unsafe building is not good for it’s residents. It is unfair for

them to have to live there. They should be rebuilt and the safety
measures should be reviewed.
