Some prefixes have an obvious meaning, for example: |
| overcook | underpass | outlaw | upright |
However, most prefixes come from Greek, Latin or Old English and their meanings are not so clear. For example:
| pre | inter | homo | tele | dis | un |
In this activity, you will be trying to work out what the prefix for each group of words means. First, identify the common prefix and then look at the meaning options in the box. Meanings may have to be used more than once. All meanings are included.
