Which prefix can be added before the word 'clockwise'?
Prefixes 1 - Adding Prefixes
English is a language that has thousands of words, through which all of us communicate. These words are categorised into the eight different parts of speech. There are some words which appear in more than one of these categories and some words which are derived from words from another category. In earlier quizzes we have looked at some adjectives which were formed from nouns by adding a suffix. In this quiz we look at words that can be formed by adding a prefix.
Look at the words – DISAGREE, AGREE and AGREEMENT. What do you find they have in common? AGREE appears in all three of them:
DISAGREE is formed by adding DIS to AGREE at the beginning of the word.
AGREEMENT is formed by adding MENT to AGREE at the end of the word.
