6. 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”.

bi means “two or twice” so biweekly mean twice a week
