What following could you attach to the beginning of a word indicate it comes before something else?

There are a few things you can attach to the beginning of a word to indicate it comes before something else, depending on the context:

* Prefixes: These are small words or word parts that are added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning. Some prefixes that indicate something comes before include:

* pre-: pre-game, pre-existing, pre-emptive

* ante-: ante-chamber, antebellum, antecedent

* fore-: forefather, forewarn, forecast

* pro-: prolog, pro-active, prologue

* prior-: priority, prior to, prioritize

* Hyphen: A hyphen can be used to create a compound word, where the first word indicates something coming before the second. For example:

* Pre-game

* Post-war

* Mid-term

* "Before": The word "before" itself can be used to indicate something comes before something else, either as a separate word or as part of a phrase. For example:

* The game before the final

* Before the storm

It's important to consider the context and the specific meaning you want to convey when choosing how to indicate something coming before something else.
