MATTER: ENGLISH V

2. Prefixes are used to give a negative or opposite
meaning to adjectives.
They are short words that are placed before a Word,
changing the meaning of the word.

3. The most commonly used prefixes are: a, il, ir, dis,
in, im, mis, etc.
Usually these prefixes is simply increased before
the word, and as the meaning most gives the word
a meaning opposite to which it had before, but
there are also other cases.

4. prefix Ex
* refers to something old, previous. It is normally
followed by a hyphen.
-wife/ex-wife = wife / ex-wife
-boyfriend/ex-boyfriend = boyfriend/ex-boyfriend
prefix co
* denotes company, co-author of. Usually accompanied by
script:
-starring/co-starring = actor/co-star, Star/co...
-producer/co-producer = producer/co-producer

5. IN - turns into IM - before words that begin with B, M
op.
Examples:
IMBALANCE, IMMORAL, IMPOSSIBLE
IN - becomes IL - in front of L. example
ILLOGICAL
CO - can also appear as:
Con -example: CONTEMPORARY
COM - before B, M or P. example: COMPATRIOT
COR - in front of R. example: CORRELATION
COL - in front of L. example: COLLABORATE

6. Hence there is a difference between the prefixes negatives
UN - or IN - and NON-:
(a) UN - or IN - suggest an opposite quality. Example:
INHUMAN
(b) NON - suggests lack of quality or attribute. Example:
NONHUMAN

7. 1.- the prefixes UN - and DIS - are also used to form
some verbal opposite.
Example:
TIE / UNTIE
APPEAR /DISAPPEAR
2.- these prefixes are also used to reverse the action of
the verb
Example:
UNDO
UNDRESS
DISLIKE
DISAGREE
