Prefixes That Tell When
A prefix is a word part that is attached at the beginning of a word or root. The prefix pre- means "before" and the prefix post- means "after." Adding a prefix to a word or root modifies its meaning. For example, the word prequalify means "qualify beforehand," and the word postgame means "after the game." Recognizing these two prefixes that tell when can often help you figure out a word's meaning. |
