Prefixes: bi-, non-, over-

• A prefix is a word part added to the beginning of another word to form a new word with its own meaning.

• nonstop • oversize • biweekly• Recognizing prefixes

can help you figure out the meanings of words.

• I know that the prefix non- means “not or without”, so nonstop means “without a stop”.

• What about oversize?• over means “more than or

above” so oversize must mean above the size

• biweekly• bi means “two or twice” so

biweekly mean twice a week
