This lesson explores the use of common prefixes in the English language, such as "ante-", "anti-", "bi-", "circum-", "com-", "con-", "de-", and "dis-." Each prefix's meaning is demonstrated with examples in sentences to enhance understanding. For instance, "ante-" appears in "anteroom," referring to a room that comes before another. Similarly, "anti-" in "antibacterial" indicates a substance that fights against germs. By mastering these prefixes, students will improve their vocabulary and comprehension, making it easier to understand complex words.
