The Prefix 'un' - Worksheet

The Prefix 'un' worksheets, part of English teaching resources, offer a variety of engaging activities designed to help students understand and use the prefix 'un'. One activity involves matching 'un' words with their root words, such as pairing 'unpack' with 'pack' or 'untie' with 'tie'. Another task requires students to add 'un' to given words and discuss the new meanings with a partner. The worksheets also include exercises where students must circle words that can be changed by adding 'un', and choose words from a bank to complete sentences that demonstrate their comprehension of the words' altered meanings.

Further exercises challenge students to identify words that already have the prefix 'un', such as 'undo' or 'unkind', and draw lines to match 'un' words to their correct root words, like connecting 'unclip' to 'clip'. Students are also prompted to circle words that can be modified by the prefix 'un', add the prefix to change the meanings of given words, and then use these new words to complete sentences, ensuring they grasp the concept of how the prefix 'un' can invert the meaning of the base word. Additionally, there are creative tasks where students write sentences using 'un' words, allowing them to apply their knowledge in a practical context.
