In language, a morpheme is considered to be the smallest grammatical unit. When a morpheme is used in front of the stem of a word it is called a prefix. The prefix can alter the meaning of the word. For example the word "unhappy" uses the prefix un- which means "not" therefore the word means "not happy".

Other examples of words with prefixes include disagree, inactive, prearrange and disappear.

A prefix is a group of letters added before a word to change its meaning or create a new word. Examples include: un (meaning not, like in unfair), re (meaning again, like in redo), dis (meaning opposite of, like in disappear), pre (meaning before, like in preview), and mis (meaning wrong, like in mistake).

That sounds remarkably like a homework question to me. I won't do your homework for you, but I will tell you how to do it.

Grab yourself a dictionary - a real live one, not one online - and start browsing through the words in it. Every time you come to a word with a prefix you haven't written down, write it down. I would have to do the same thing if I were to actually provide you with the answer. It won't take you very long to come up with your list.
