About this worksheet

The prefixes inter- (between), super- (above or beyond) and sub- (under) go at the front of a word part to make a new word, such as international, supermarket and subway. On this fifth grade sheet each of twelve items shows a prefix and three word endings, and only one ending makes a real word.

The child writes the whole word on the line. Each version has different words, and the answer key gives every word.

What your child will learn

  • Join inter-, super- and sub- to a word part
  • Tell a real word from a made-up one
  • Spell the whole word
  • Know that a prefix is written joined to the word

Common Core standard: L.5.4.B

Worked example

inter- and national make international.

Common mistake

Putting a hyphen or a space after the prefix, as in super market, when the word is written as one.

Helpful hint

Try each ending after the prefix and say it aloud. Only one is a word you know.
