Prefixes

We use prefixes to change meaning. They never change the part


of speech. (Most suffixes change the part of speech.)
• Many prefixes give a word a meaning which is the opposite or
negative of the original. For example, we can use the prefixes dis
or un:
dis + appear - disappear
un + tie - untie

prefix meaning / use example

anti +
opposite anti- clockwise/ anti-climax
adjective/noun

anti + noun / anti-theft device / anti-


against
adjective European

co + noun / verb together cohabit

dis + verb negative/opposite dislike / disembark

il + adjective opposite illegal

im + adjective opposite impossible

in+adjective opposite indirect

inter + adjective between intercontinental

ir + adjective opposite irregular

mis + verb wrongly/ badly mistook / mishandle

over + verb too much overwork

out + verb more outnumber

post + noun / verb after postgraduate

pre + noun / verb before pre- arrangement

pro + noun /
in favour of pro-Unions / pro-European
adjective

sub + adjective below substandard

super + noun/ greater than superhuman


adjective

trans + noun / transplant


across
verb / /transcontinental

un + verb /
negative / opposite unlock / unhappy
adjective

not enough/too
under + verb undercook / undercharge
little

There are a few rules:


• We use il instead of in with words that begin with l:
il + legal = illegal
• We use im instead of in with words that begin with m or p:
im + polite - impolite
• We often use ir instead of in with words that begin with r:
ir + responsible = irresponsible.

• Some common mistakes are:


X You must unconnect the cables first.
You must disconnect the cables first.
X They expelled him for disbehaving.
/ They expelled him for misbehaving.
• Note that many words with a prefix have a base part that never
exists on its own. Here are examples: immediate, incontrovertible,
uncalled-for

Add a correct prefix to the following words.
