Are there prefixes in French

Are there prefixes in french like; retake remake, pretest
or do they just say
to take again, make again,
and does recherche mean the same as cherche

Hi there,
> Are there prefixes in French like; "retake" "remake", "pretest"?
Yes. Putting the prefixe "re" has the same meaning as in English. Therefore you can : "refaire l'exercice, revoir un film, reboutonner la chemise, repartir, renaitre...
With "pré" it is a bit tricky as they are usually verbs on their own. It can work with "dire and prédire, voir and prévoir, compter et précompter, fabriquer et préfabriquer... But it's not a 100% rule, that is "préférer" doesn't mean there is the verb "férer", or "diquer" for "prédiquer", "sumer" for "présumer"....

..Does "recherche" mean the same as "cherche"?
The dictionary definition for "rechercher" is "chercher de façon méthodique, consciente ou insistante' which means "to search intensively". So yes, they are more or less the same...

Voilà!
