Common prefixes include <span class=\"italic\">pre<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">bi<\/span>, and <span class=\"italic\">anti<\/span>. Take a look at the examples below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Prefixes-Table-399x199.png\" alt=\"table showing prefix examples\" width=\"399\" class=\"center\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>A prefix usually changes the meaning of the base word.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Think about the word <span class=\"italic\">happy<\/span>. The prefix <span class=\"italic\">un <\/span>placed in front of the word <span class=\"italic\">happy <\/span>makes a new word with a new meaning:<span class=\"italic\"> unhappy<\/span>. The prefix <span class=\"italic\">un <\/span>means <span class=\"italic\">not<\/span> so it changes the meaning of the word <span class=\"italic\">happy <\/span>to <span class=\"italic\">not happy<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Prefixes-Unhappy-288x44.png\" alt=\"un + happy = unhappy\" width=\"288\" class=\"center\" \/>\r\n\r\n<h2>The Two Most Common Prefixes<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The most common prefixes are <span class=\"italic\">un<\/span> and  <span class=\"italic\">re<\/span>. These two prefixes are the most useful for beginning spellers to learn because they appear frequently and their meanings are easy to understand and remember.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Prefixes-un-58x58.png\" alt=\"The prefix un-\" width=\"58\" \/>\r\n<p><span class=\"italic\">Un<\/span> means <span class=\"italic\">not <\/span> (<span class=\"italic\">unhappy<\/span> = <span class=\"italic\">not happy<\/span>) or the <span class=\"italic\">reverse <\/span>of, or <span class=\"italic\">opposite <\/span>of (as in <span class=\"italic\">untie<\/span>).<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Prefixes-re-58x58.png\" alt=\"The prefix re-\" width=\"58\" \/>\r\n    <p><span class=\"italic\">Re <\/span>means <span class=\"italic\">again <\/span>(<span class=\"italic\">redo <\/span>= <span class=\"italic\">do again<\/span>) or <span class=\"italic\">back <\/span>(as in <span class=\"italic\">repay<\/span>).<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>If you're interested in learning more about prefixes, download and print this list of 90 common prefixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/downloads.allaboutlearningpress.com\/downloads\/resource-list-of-90-prefixes.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Prefix-List-Download-600x450.png\" alt=\"click to download a list of 90 common prefixes\" width=\"600\" class=\"center\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<h2>Tips for Adding Prefixes<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p><span class=\"bold\">Tip 1: The spelling of the base word never changes.<\/span> Simply add the prefix to the beginning of the base word, as in the word <span class=\"italic\">tricycle<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n    \r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Prefixes-Tricycle-266x44.png\" alt=\"tri + cycle = tricycle\" width=\"266\" class=\"center\" \/>\r\n    \r\n<p><span class=\"bold\">Tip 2: Be aware that double letters can occur.<\/span> If you add the prefix <span class=\"italic\">un<\/span> to <span class=\"italic\">natural<\/span>, both the prefix and the base word retain their original spelling. The result is <span class=\"italic\">unnatural<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n    \r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Prefixes-Unnatural-318x44.png\" alt=\"un + natural = unnatural\" width=\"318\" class=\"center\" \/>\r\n    \r\n<p class=\"center\">Other examples where double letters occur include <span class=\"italic\">misspell<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">irregular<\/span>, and <span class=\"italic\">unnoticeable<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n    \r\n<p><span class=\"bold\">Tip 3: Watch out for prefix look-alikes.<\/span> Some words contain the same string of letters as a prefix, but upon closer examination you\u2019ll find that they are not prefixes. The <span class=\"italic\">re <\/span>in <span class=\"italic\">real <\/span>is not a prefix.<\/p>\r\n    \r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Prefixes-Real-288x44.png\" alt=\"re + al \u2260 re\" width=\"168\" class=\"center\" \/>\r\n    \r\n<p class=\"center\">Other examples include\u00a0<span class=\"italic\">uncle<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">pretty<\/span>, and <span class=\"italic\">interest<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n    \r\n<p><span class=\"bold\">Tip 4: Sometimes a hyphen is needed.<\/span> If you are working with an older student, it is handy to know the six rules for adding prefixes found in the next section.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>6 Rules for Using Hyphens with Prefixes<\/h2>\r\n    \r\n    <p>A prefix is usually added directly to the base word, but there are several cases where a hyphen is needed.<\/p>\r\n    \r\n    <p><span class=\"bold\">Rule 1: Hyphenate the word when you add a prefix to a proper noun or a numeral.<\/span><\/p>\r\n    \r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Prefixes-Hyphenated-187x88.png\" alt=\"hyphenated prefix examples\" width=\"187\" class=\"center\" \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n    <p><span class=\"bold\">Rule 2: Hyphenate the word when you add the prefix <span class=\"italic\">ex<\/span> meaning <span class=\"italic\">former<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n    \r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Prefixes-Expresident-173x44.png\" alt=\"ex + president = ex-president\" width=\"173\" class=\"center\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"center\">(Do not use a hyphen if <span class=\"italic\">ex<\/span> means <span class=\"italic\">out of<\/span> or <span class=\"italic\">away from<\/span>, as in <span class=\"italic\">expel<\/span>.)<\/p>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\r\n    <p><span class=\"bold\">Rule 3: Hyphenate after the prefix <span class=\"italic\">self<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n    \r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Prefixes-SelfRespect-173x44.png\" alt=\"self + respect = self-respect\" width=\"173\" class=\"center\" \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\r\n    <p><span class=\"bold\">Rule 4: Hyphenate to separate two A\u2019s, two I\u2019s, or other letter combinations that might cause misreading or mispronunciation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Prefixes-Hyphenated-2-217x124.png\" alt=\"hyphenated prefix examples a's, o's, and i's\" width=\"217\" class=\"center\" \/>\r\n<br \/>    \r\n\r\n    <p><span class=\"bold\">Rule 5: A hyphen may be used to separate two E\u2019s or two O\u2019s to improve readability or prevent mispronunciation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n    \r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Prefixes-Vs-Words-497x86.png\" alt=\"hyphenated prefix examples - e's and o's\" width=\"497\" class=\"center\" \/>\r\n\r\n    <p>Note that many words with double E\u2019s used to be hyphenated as a general rule, as in <span class=\"italic\">re-elect<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">re-establish<\/span>, and <span class=\"italic\">pre-existing<\/span>.
