1. Guide learners through the 4 prefix rules using the vlogging examples, taking about 4 minutes.

2. Have students complete the 12 interactive items individually and check answers together at the end.

1. Read the rule cards carefully and notice how each prefix changes the action word.

2. Solve the 12 practice questions below, using the single-word clue in brackets for extra help.

Use re- before a verb when you do an action again. Write it as one word without a hyphen. Words like reply, remember, and receive already start with re- and mean something else.

Use over- before a verb when you do an action too much or more than is good. The verb keeps its usual form in the past time.

Use under- before a verb when you do an action too little or less than needed. It works the same way in past forms.

Use mis- before a verb when you do an action wrongly or by mistake. An irregular verb keeps its irregular past form (for example: read stays misread).

✅ Correct (One word, no hyphen)

• • redo, retake, rewind
• • overuse, overreact
• • underestimate
• • misread (past tense: misread)

⚠️ Avoid (Wrong hyphens / forms)

• • re-do, re-take, re-wind
• • over-use, over-react
• • under-estimate
• • misreaded (do not add -ed to irregular verbs!)
