Does adding a prefix change the spelling of the root word

Answered by admin @ 03/08/2021

No,

A lot of prefixes change the meaning of the word to the opposite meaning. Usually when you add a prefix you don't change the root word. Recognising and understanding prefixes will help your spelling and reading.

Can you match these prefixes, suffixes, and word roots with their definitions?
