Today, we embark on an exciting adventure into the world of prefixes! By the end of our journey, you’ll not only understand what prefixes are but also how they can transform the meanings of words.
Imagine that you are a word explorer, armed with your trusty dictionary and a treasure map marked with prefixes. Every prefix you discover will unlock a hidden treasure: a new word with a unique meaning!
