Let's focus on another common prefix, "co-." This is one that you'll see pretty often.
Prefix: co-
Meaning: with
Examples: copilot, cosign, coteach
If you're on a plane that has a copilot, you have one pilot who is with another pilot.
Sometimes you may need to have someone cosign a loan with you.
Many of the online workshops have two teachers there; they are coteaching the session.
Words that use the prefix "co-" may use a hyphen. Examples would be the terms "co-own" and "co-exist." Why would some words with the prefix "co-" use a hyphen and others don't? The answer lies in the first letter of the word that comes after the prefix. According to one of the rules about hyphens, if you're going to have an awkward combination of letters together (such as two vowels right next to each other), you should use a hyphen.

I made 100% correct on the first quiz. I went to the next level and made 90%.
I learned that when you add a prefix to a root word, the spelling of the root word usually stays the same.
'dis' + 'satisfy' = 'dissatisfy'
I did really well on the quiz. I got all ten right.
