Prefixes and suffixes - Conspiracy Theories

Week 15^th January

You asked me to have some prefixes and suffixes exercises, so, here they are!

We use the following prefixes to make opposites.	un	unpopular
	il	illiterate
	ir	irresponsible
	im	impossible
	in	invisible
	dis	disappear
wrongly, inaccurate	mis	misunderstand
again	re	replay
before	pre	prematurely
afterwards	post	post sale
not enough	under	underestimated
too much	over	overcooked

And some suffixes

with	ful	useful
without	less	useless
changes an adj into a noun	ness	happiness
that has the quality of…	able	reliable
makes a noun out of an adjective	ity	popularity

I know they’re difficult to learn. My advice is: make sentences so as to have examples in context. And try this link for more practice.
