What is preffixes?

"Prefixes" are a part of a word that comes at the beginning and changes its meaning. They are like mini-words that get added to the front of another word to create a new word with a different meaning.

Here's a breakdown:

* What they do: Prefixes add information about size, location, direction, or other aspects to the base word.

* Examples:

* "un-" means "not" (e.g., "happy" becomes "unhappy")

* "pre-" means "before" (e.g., "game" becomes "pregame")

* "re-" means "again" (e.g., "read" becomes "reread")

* "super-" means "above" or "beyond" (e.g., "human" becomes "superhuman")
