Adding a prefix to a word changes its meaning entirely. A prefix is a short word that is attached at the front of another word. You may have watched my lesson on the prefix UNDER- : https://youtu.be/phEwlgjVUWQ But what about its opposite, the prefix OVER-? When you add OVER- at the beginning of a word, it means too much or more than enough. In this lesson, we will look at words beginning with the prefix OVER-, such as “overestimate”, “overhaul”, “override”, “overachieve”, “overkill”, “overrule”, and more. Do not overlook this vocabulary lesson, as you will find yourself using these words over and over again. Take the quiz here: https://www.engvid.com/english-vocabulary-prefix-over/

A prefix is a short word that is attached at the front of another word to form a new word. The prefix “under” means less, lower, not enough, beneath, or below.

In this lesson, we will build our vocabulary base with words that start with the prefix “under”. We will look at words like “undertake”, “understudy”, “undergo”, “underachieve”, “understate”, and more. Do not underestimate the importance of learning new vocabulary!

Suffixes are additions to words that change the original word’s meaning or function.

I will teach you the meaning of sayings like "getting an A for effort", "learn the ropes", "You can't teach an old dog new tricks", and more.

What is a compound subject? It is when you combine several subjects together into one. This helps to avoid repetition in a sentence. But how do you make the verb agree with several subjects?

It all depends on subject-verb agreement, which is an important element of writing and speaking in English. In this lesson, we will look at compound subjects and how verbs react to these. I will teach you how to make the verb agree with the subjects in different kinds of sentences. After the video, be sure to do the quiz at https://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-compound-subjects-verb-agreement/ to test yourself on the material. TRANSCRIPT Hi. Welcome to engVid. I'm Adam.
