Try It<\/h3>\n

In some cases, letters at the beginning of a word are not prefixes:<\/p>\n

Examples:<\/em><\/p>\n

real<\/p>\n

uncle<\/p>\n

pretty<\/p>\n

interest<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The spelling of the base word never changes. Add the prefix to the beginning of the base word.<\/p>\n

Example<\/em>: tri+cycle=tricycle<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In some cases, double letters occur.<\/p>\n

Example<\/em>: un+natural=unnatural<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A hyphen is needed in these cases:<\/p>\n

-when a prefix is added to a proper noun or a numeral.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/em> Un-American<\/p>\n

-when the prefix ex meaning former.<\/p>\n

Example<\/em>: ex-president<\/p>\n

-after the prefix self.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/em> self-respect<\/p>\n

-to separate two a\u2019s, two i\u2019s, two e\u2019s or two o\u2019s to improve readability<\/p>\n

Example<\/em>: co-owner, de-emphasize, re-elect<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
