Words Beginning With “Non”
Below is a list of words beginning with non for example nondrinker. And in the words given below the prefix non changes the original word to not or to the opposite of the word’s original meaning. For example: a nondrinker is a person that does not drink alcohol, whereas a drinker is a person that does drink alcohol.
I believe that learning words prefixed with non is a good thing in that students can learn two words and two meanings from just one original word. For example: nondrinker and drinker are two words and they have two meanings but they are both linked by the meaning of the word drinker.
