    Префиксы (приставки) добавляют к различным частям речи: к существительным, прилагательным, глаголам и так далее.

    Давайте рассмотрим каждую приставку подробнее: 

    Отрицательные префиксы —in, —im, —ir, —il

    В основном добавляются к прилагательным

    1)   Im добавляем к прилагательным, которые начинаются на буквы M, P

    Пример:

    Possible (Возможный) – Impossible (Невозможный)

    Personal (Личный) – Impersonal (Неличный)

    Dependent (Зависимый) – Independent (Независимый)

    Отрицательный префикс —Un

    Prefixes similar to dis
