Lesson 20: The “pre” dilemma, part 1

The combination “pre” presents a dilemma.  Although in a perfect world there would be no hooks and we would alternate hands at all times and forever; here, either “pr” or “re” must be a hook.  And as yet I’ve found no good reason to think it must be one way and not the other.  (Either way, typing the “e” with the right hand would make no sense at all.)

So, I’m about to present all the same words, fingered two different ways.  In this lesson, we will use “pr” as the hook.  In the next lesson, we will use “re” as the hook.

Word list:

prey press preach spread prefer prevent predate prepare express prevail repress preside depress prelate present

pretend pretext pretense prejudge suppress predator prenatal prescient pre-exist preoccupy apprehend appreciate depreciate comprehend premonition predation precognitive prepubescent
