One great way to increase your vocabulary, particularly if you're talking about negatives or opposites, is to use a prefix.
增加词汇量,特别是增加否定词或反义词的一个好方法是使用前缀。
This is when you take your stem, and then you add a group of small letters to the beginning of the word.
前缀就是在词干前面添加一组小写字母。
Some of these you will already be familiar with, like pre- and post-.
有一些前缀你很熟悉,比如pre-(之前的)和post-(之后的)。
Make sure you do your pre-lesson activities before the class and your post-lesson activities after the class.
请一定要在课前做好预习,在课后做好复习。
Another common one that you may have heard in your English practice is ir-, like regular and irregular verbs, verbs that are not regular.
另一个你可能在英语练习中听到过的常见前缀是ir-,比如规则动词和不规则动词。
