Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Vocabulary.
I'm Catherine.
And I'm Neil.
You know Catherine,
six-minute vocabulary is great because you can listen to each program again and again.
You can Neil, you can reuse them.
You can and the word reuse is a clue to today's topic.
It is, we're talking about prefixes.
Those are the two or three letters that we can add to the beginning of words to change their meaning.

Yeah, we'll tell you more about re later and we'll also tell you about the prefixes pre and pro.
We'll explain what all three prefixes mean and give you lots of examples.
There'll be a quiz at the end and a top tip for learning vocabulary.
