Learn with an example

Sort each word by its prefix.

When spelling longer words, it can be helpful to break them into meaningful parts—like prefixes that can appear at the beginning of words.

For example, the prefix fore- appears in words like these:

forearm

foresee

The prefix trans- appears in words like these:

transport

transfusion

The prefix super- appears in words like these:

supervisor

superstar

The prefix inter- appears in words like these:

international

interrupt

To spell, think about each part of the word on its own. Then, put them together.

fore + see → foresee

trans + port → transport

super + visor → supervisor

inter + national → international

The words forehead, foreground, and forerunner start with the prefix fore-.

The word transport starts with the prefix trans-.

The words supernova and supervise both start with the prefix super-.
