The prefix re-, over- and under-
The prefixes over- and under- (meaning, respectively, (1) too or (2) above, and (1) insufficiently or (2) beneath) are living prefixes, meaning they may be attached to virtually any adjective or verb without requiring a hyphen.
Look at the following sentences and fill in the blank with a word from the list below. There are verbs, adjectives and nouns to choose from. Put in the prefix over or under to express the correct meaning. Don't forget to put the verb in the right tense. You may have to use some of the words twice, once with under and once with over.
