We've already covered the four most common prefixes. But there are still other prefixes that are important to know, so let's focus on them for a bit!
Prefix: pre-
Meaning: before
Examples: prepay, prepackage, precook
If you prepay for a movie, you have paid for your tickets before the movie begins.
Some companies may prepackage books with CD's so that it's already done and you don't have to put those pieces together.
Publix sells precooked turkeys around holiday time. The turkeys are already cooked and all you need to do is reheat them!
Try this next activity to see how well you know some words that use the "pre-" prefix & their meanings. Click on this link (http://www.studystack.com/studytable-21628) and a table will appear with some parts showing and other parts hidden. See if you can guess what's in the hidden section. To check yourself, click on that hidden area and you'll see what's there. Then, pick one of the ten terms that you saw, come back to this blog, and post the term with its definition.
