A prefix refers to the group of letters that can be added in the beginning of a root word that may or may not change the meaning of the new word. Some of the examples of prefixes are un & dis that means not, mis that means wrong or wrongly, sub that means under, pre that means before in time and a lot more. Some examples of root words with prefixes are the following, undisclosed, dishonest, misspell, subway, prenuptial and others.

Please can come with different sorts of prefixes, such as "un", "out", "over", "self" and "well".

Examples: "This was an unpleasant surprise". In this sentence we have the prefix "un", meaning that this wasn't a pleasant surprise, that it was a negative surprise.

"You really shouldn't overplease your daughter". In this sentence the prefix "over" shows that not only do the parents please their daughter, but they also please her in a high degree.
