English is a very flexible language and you can build on your vocabulary and learn how to make new words. One way of doing this is to add prefixes (such as dis, pre or co) before the word. Here's a list of common prefixes with their meanings and some examples. anti (= against) antibodies, anti-social auto (self) autonomous, autobiography, automobile bi (= two) bicycle co (= with) cooperate, coordinate contra (= against) contradict, contravene de (= remove) deregulate, deselect dis (= not) disappear il (= not) illegal im (= not) immaterial, immature inter (= between) international mis(= badly/wrongly) misinform, misbehave, misunderstand multi (= many) multinational non (= opposite) non-profit out (= more than) outperform, outdone over (= too much) oversleep, overwork post (= after) postpone, postnatal pre (= before) predict re (= again) rewrite, relive sub (= under) submarine super (= higher/improved) supermarket trans (= across) transatlantic uni (= one) uniform under (= not enough) underpaid, underfed
