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 the next activity you have to match a prefix to its meaning. Read the words and spot the prefix. Then work out the meaning of the prefix, choosing from the words in the box. There are 12 questions but only 10 meanings. You will need to use one meaning 3 times.
