Prefixes are super useful for understanding words! They’re like little shortcuts that can help you figure out what a word means. There are 20 common prefixes, like ‘un-’ and ’re-’, that you should know. For example, ‘un-’ means not, so if you see a word with ‘un-’ in front of it, like ‘unhappy’, it means not happy. And if you see a word with ’re-’ in front of it, like ‘rewrite’, it means to write again. So cool!
