We're looking at the prefixes de-, dys-, and dis- in this unit. Join us for 6 Minute Vocabulary, and then do two activities to test your knowledge of prefixes!
Re-, pre-, pro-, in-, un-, mis-
There are lots of prefixes to learn in English. In our pre-intermediate course we looked at six more: re-, pre-, and pro- in Unit 24, and un-, in- and mis- back in Unit 3.
First, let's revise the meanings of these prefixes! Later, we'll do a test.
1) re = again
- reheat (heat again), reuse (use again), replay (play again), revise (look at again)
2) pre = before, already
- precooked (cooked already), prepacked (packed already), prewar (before a war)
3) pro = in support of, in favour of (often followed by a hyphen)
- proactive (in favour of being active), pro-British (in favour of Britain), pro-capitalist (in favour of capitalism)
4) un = not
- unclean (not clean), unhygienic (not hygienic), unhappy (not happy)
5) in = not
- incomplete (not complete), intolerant (not tolerant), inaccurate (not accurate)
6) mis = wrong, or not
- mishear (to hear incorrectly), misunderstanding (a situation when people understand each other wrongly), mislead (to make someone believe the wrong thing)

To do
It's time to see if you can build some more vocabulary. Revision is important before an exam, as we know. Let's read about a young man called Richard as he revises for his exams. Can you fill in the gaps in the story with the correct words, even if you haven't seen them before?
