prefixes that are used when you want to deny something or prefixes that are used in negations. we have “a” when we want to say the opposite of something. “Political”, “apolitical”, “Symmetric” “asymmetric”
“Dis” (In/De), “comfort” “discomfort” “agree” “disagree”
“il”, “im”, “in” and “go”. They are similar, true. But they change depending on the word that comes after. “legal” “illegal” “Perfect” “imperfect”
“Mis” “understand” “misunderstand”
“Non” “Essential” “nonessential” “Sense”, “nonsense”
“a” “Predictable”, "unpredictable"
These prefixes help you to negate actions or characteristics without using a negative word.
“I need to unpack tonight”
“Are you insane? I won’t do that.”
“That’s very unlikely”
“This is completely immoral”
“You can disregard my email”
