Prefixes - particles used in the beginning of the words to give them a meaning.
Now, you'll have a look at 4 prefixes used in the English language that mean "the opposite".
They are: il-, im-, ir-, in-.
How do you use them? No problem!! Read the information below.
il - for words that begin with "l" (yes, there will be double "l");
im - for words that begin with "m", "p", "b" (consonants, where you have to use both your lips to produce the sound). And yes, there will be double consonant;
ir - for words that begin with "r" (double consonant);
in - no rule.
