To form opposites, prefixes like 'un-', 'in-', or 'dis-' are often used. For example, 'clever' becomes 'unclever', 'different' becomes 'indifferent', 'friendly' becomes 'unfriendly', 'important' becomes 'unimportant', 'lucky' becomes 'unlucky', 'kind' becomes 'unkind', 'patient' becomes 'impatient', 'true' becomes 'untrue', and 'wanted' becomes 'unwanted'. These opposites can help describe contrasting traits in book characters.
