Prefixes and Suffixes Worksheet

Each context contains one word whose beginning or ending changes its meaning. Two short paraphrases appear below the sentence, and learners select the interpretation supported by affix knowledge and context. The set covers ideas such as before, again, reversal, absence, and fullness without requiring dictionary definitions. The affix-checking reference provides the intended choices after students have identified the meaningful word part and tested it in the sentence.
