Using Greek prefixes

A prefix is a letter or group of letters that goes at the beginning of a root word. A prefix changes the meaning of the word.

The vowels are ‘a’ ‘e’ ‘i’ ‘o’ ‘u’ (and sometimes ‘y’)

The consonants are all the other letters in the alphabet

• look at each word • say the word • learn its meaning • read the examples • highlight the prefixes in the examples.
