Step-by-step solution for: Prefixes Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Add a Prefix to the Mix!" with a word bank and 10 words that need prefixes added to them. The goal is to use the correct prefix from the word bank (which includes: *re, un, dis*) to form a new word for each blank.
Let’s go through this step by step:
---
- re
- un
- dis
These are common prefixes:
- re- = again, back (e.g., *rewrite*)
- un- = not, opposite (e.g., *unhappy*)
- dis- = not, opposite, away (e.g., *disagree*)
---
1. ______ please
→ "Unplease"? No. But “displease” is a real word.
✔ dis + please = displease
✔️ Answer: dis
2. ______ able
→ “unable” means not able.
✔ un + able = unable
✔️ Answer: un
3. ______ draw
→ “redraw” means to draw again.
✔ re + draw = redraw
✔️ Answer: re
4. ______ happy
→ “unhappy” means not happy.
✔ un + happy = unhappy
✔️ Answer: un
5. ______ agree
→ “disagree” means not agree.
✔ dis + agree = disagree
✔️ Answer: dis
6. ______ usual
→ “unusual” means not usual.
✔ un + usual = unusual
✔️ Answer: un
7. ______ bed
→ “rebed”? Not a word. “disbed”? No.
Wait — “rebed” isn’t standard. But “re-bed” is sometimes used (e.g., re-bed a garden). However, more likely:
Think of “rebuild”, “rethink”, but “rebed” isn't common.
Alternatively, maybe it’s “rebed” as in “to re-bed” something?
But actually, perhaps it's meant to be “rebed” or possibly a typo?
Wait — could it be “re-bed”? Or is it “rebed”?
But looking at the pattern: maybe it's “rebed” meaning to put back into bed?
Actually, “rebed” is not commonly used.
Let’s reconsider: Is it possible it's “rebed” as in “re-bed” (a technical term in gardening)?
But still, not very common.
Alternatively, could it be “disbed”? No, not a word.
Wait — perhaps it's “re” as in “rebed”? That seems weak.
Another idea: Maybe it's “re” for “re-bed”? But that's rare.
Let's think: Are we missing something?
Wait — perhaps the word is “rebed” → “re” + “bed” → “rebed” (to bed again?) — not strong.
But look at #8: “equal” → “unequal” is a word.
So maybe #7 is “re” for “rebed”?
Hmm… Perhaps the intended answer is “re” → “rebed” (as in re-place in bed), though uncommon.
But let’s check if there’s another possibility.
Wait — what about “disbed”? No, not a word.
So likely: re → rebed (rare, but plausible).
But wait — perhaps it's “re” because “rebed” is acceptable in some contexts.
Alternatively, could it be a typo? Maybe it's supposed to be “re” for “rebed”?
Let’s move on and come back.
For now:
✔ re + bed = rebed (though rare)
✔️ Answer: re
8. ______ equal
→ “unequal” = not equal
✔ un + equal = unequal
✔️ Answer: un
9. ______ obey
→ “disobey” = not obey
✔ dis + obey = disobey
✔️ Answer: dis
10. ______ write
→ “rewrite” = to write again
✔ re + write = rewrite
✔️ Answer: re
---
We have:
- rebed? → rare
- unbed? → not a word
- disbed? → not a word
But “rebed” is occasionally used in horticulture (e.g., “rebedding plants”), so it might be acceptable.
Alternatively, could it be “re” as in “rebed”?
Yes, likely the intended answer is re → rebed, even if uncommon.
So final answers:
| # | Word | Prefix | New Word |
|---|-----------|--------|--------------|
| 1 | please | dis | displease |
| 2 | able | un | unable |
| 3 | draw | re | redraw |
| 4 | happy | un | unhappy |
| 5 | agree | dis | disagree |
| 6 | usual | un | unusual |
| 7 | bed | re | rebed |
| 8 | equal | un | unequal |
| 9 | obey | dis | disobey |
|10 | write | re | rewrite |
---
1. dis
2. un
3. re
4. un
5. dis
6. un
7. re
8. un
9. dis
10. re

- We used the prefixes re, un, and dis from the word bank.
- Each prefix changes the meaning:
- re- = again (e.g., rewrite)
- un- = not (e.g., unhappy)
- dis- = not or opposite (e.g., disagree)
- All resulting words are valid English words except possibly “rebed,” which is less common but acceptable in certain contexts.
✔ If “rebed” is not accepted, then perhaps there's a typo in the worksheet — maybe it was meant to be “re” for “re-bed” or perhaps “re” is still correct.

Word Bank:
- re
- un
- dis
These are common prefixes:
- re- = again, back (e.g., *rewrite*)
- un- = not, opposite (e.g., *unhappy*)
- dis- = not, opposite, away (e.g., *disagree*)

Now let's solve each one:
1. ______ please
→ "Unplease"? No. But “displease” is a real word.
✔ dis + please = displease
✔️ Answer: dis
2. ______ able
→ “unable” means not able.
✔ un + able = unable
✔️ Answer: un
3. ______ draw
→ “redraw” means to draw again.
✔ re + draw = redraw
✔️ Answer: re
4. ______ happy
→ “unhappy” means not happy.
✔ un + happy = unhappy
✔️ Answer: un
5. ______ agree
→ “disagree” means not agree.
✔ dis + agree = disagree
✔️ Answer: dis
6. ______ usual
→ “unusual” means not usual.
✔ un + usual = unusual
✔️ Answer: un
7. ______ bed
→ “rebed”? Not a word. “disbed”? No.

Now let’s double-check #7: ______ bed
We have:
- rebed? → rare
- unbed? → not a word
- disbed? → not a word
But “rebed” is occasionally used in horticulture (e.g., “rebedding plants”), so it might be acceptable.
Alternatively, could it be “re” as in “rebed”?
Yes, likely the intended answer is re → rebed, even if uncommon.
So final answers:

| 4 | happy | un | unhappy |

| 6 | usual | un | unusual |
| 7 | bed | re | rebed |
| 8 | equal | un | unequal |
| 9 | obey | dis | disobey |
|10 | write | re | rewrite |

✔ Final Answers:
1. dis
2. un
3. re
4. un
5. dis
6. un
