Prefixes: -un, -re, -dis, -bi
If you are here at the moment then chances are that your child has now come of age where he is supposed to learn about prefixes, what they are and where they are used. Well, if that’s the case and if you want to know how to teach your little one about prefixes then yes, you are definitely at the right place, reading the right content!
For starters, prefixes are words that are based before a base word. For example, in the word “Disconnect”, “dis” is a prefix that’s being used to change the meaning of the word “Connect. Similarly, there are more such words as “re”, “un” and “bi” etc that are called prefixes. These words are just used to change the meaning of a base word.
The English language is very interesting, if you look at the words closely you will see some repetitive combination of alphabets ending the words. These letters that end a word are called ‘suffixes. These suffixes change the meaning of words and can create new words. In this video we talk about 4 suffixes:
• ful
• less
• ly
• able
-ful
When we add suffix -ful to a word it changes its meaning to ‘full of’. For example:
• Colorful
• Grateful
-less
When we add -less to a word it means ‘without’, which means that something is without the word that’s in the start of this word. For example:
• Homeless
• Helpless
-ly
The suffix -ly can be used to answer two questions, how often and how.
