Take the spelling test and see how well you know these words.
Prefixes hold the key to unlocking new meanings and expanding our vocabulary. Look at the words in this list. They all begin with the prefix in-.
Derived from Latin, the prefix in- means not and is used to undo a base word.
Looking at base words can help you grasp the meanings of words beginning in the prefix in-.
Let’s look at some examples:
1. in- + considerate = not considerate
2. in- + correct = not correct
3. in- + compatible = not compatible
Sometimes the base word is less easy to identify so use the spelling activities to learn the in- word in this list.
