Understanding Prefixes: un-, re-, pre-

Prefixes are added to the beginning of roots or base words to change their meaning. The prefix 'un-' often means 'not' or 'opposite of', as in 'unhappy' meaning 'not happy'. The prefix 're-' usually indicates repetition or doing something again, such as 'redo' meaning 'do again'. The prefix 'pre-' means 'before', as in 'preheat' meaning 'heat before'. Recognizing these prefixes can help you deduce the meanings of unfamiliar words and expand your vocabulary.
