Here's how they work:
* Prefix: A word part that is added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning.
* Root Word: The main part of a word that carries its basic meaning.
* Meaning: Latin prefixes often have a specific meaning that is added to the root word.
For example:
* "Pre" means "before"
* "Pre-game" means "before the game"
* "Sub" means "under"
* "Submarine" means "a vehicle that goes under the water"
* "Re" means "again"
* "Rewrite" means "to write again"
There are many Latin prefixes, each with its own specific meaning. Learning these prefixes can help you understand the meanings of new words and improve your vocabulary.
