Hello everybody,
It is one subject about the prefix (un). The prefix in linguistic is an element added before a word and changes the sens of the word. Than I ask you to give ten words with an "Un" prefix and make too ten phrases with these words.
e.g. available = disponible.
unavailable = indisponible.
The minister was unavailable for comment = le ministre s'est refusé
à tout commentaire.
e.g. able = capable
unable = incapable
I was unable to persuade him = je n'ai pas pu le persuader.
Thank you and see you soon. Yours werriy58
