This is our final week of spelling words with prefixes. The spellings this week all have prefixes which change the meaning of the word to convey the opposite (synonyms). For example, tidy and untidy.
You will only be tested on the word with the prefix (words in bold). Nouns and verbs practise 1-10. Adjectives and adverbs practise 1-15.
1. well unwell
2. tidy untidy
3. usual unusual
4. certain uncertain
5. friendly unfriendly
6. selfish unselfish
7. agree disagree
8. comfort discomfort
9. appear disappear
10. obey disobey
11. pleasant unpleasant
12. approve disapprove
13. trust distrust
14. necessary unnecessary
15. appealing unappealing
Good luck!
