Word Knowledge

What does the prefix be- mean?

In working as an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of studying prefixes, root words, and suffixes.  Be- is one of the many prefixes that I included in my vocabulary study guide.  I wrote a book entitled, The ASVAB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide.  This book includes several pages of charts of prefixes, root words, and suffixes.  In my ASVAB prep course, I review some prefixes, root words, and suffixes, but I do not have enough time to review all of them.  I remind my students of the importance of reviewing all the prefixes, root words, and suffixes that are presented in my study guide.
