Prefixes
Hi all:
The article is that I read a paper. I wrote it to here maybe someone need.
This article is saying about prfixes like “re”.”over”.”mis”and “dis”. And so no.
Re meaning (again) “My project is bad that manager want me to redo”
Over meaning (too much) “I think my leader is overdoing”
Mis meaning (badly or incorrectly)
Un meaning (without)…
Sorry there words is all in this paper
I think there words are useful but someone maybe can provide too many word to me
To undestand prefixes of English.
Thx.

Thank you, Jeter,

This is useful information about prefixes. If you remember this, you will be able to understand a lot of words better.

I can see that you understand these prefixes, but if you find any more that you can't understand, just write and we will be happy to help you, OK?

Best wishes, Clive
