"pre-" = before, previous(ly)
"micro-" = very very small
"bi-" = both ways or two ways
"inter-" = between

1-"super-" = " a lot, great, highest, the best" like :
- " Supervisor is a person who has a the highest control."
2- "pre-" = "before, previous(ly)" like:
- preintermidiate which means before the intermidiate
3- "micro-" = tiny, very small, like :
- microfilm which is a film on which materials are photographed at greatly reduced size
4- "bi-" = two, both ways , like :
- bilingual dictionary/person is a dictionary/ person with two languages.
5- "inter-" = between like:
- International: something that is among nations or different countries (universal)
good luck

I concentrate on micro-, which as a prefix in front of a unit of measure
means one mllionth.
Examples: micrometer, microsecond
Similar is nano- with the meaning of 1 billionth (1/1000 000 000)
Examples: nanometer, nanogram
If you want to make somebody angry, here is a quick way:
A. When will you finish that report on ABC ?
B. It's almost finished, just thirty more nanocenturies, and I'll bring it to your office.
Warning: a risk to be fired from the job is hidden in this answer; the risk is not of microscopic size.
(Exercise:
how many seconds in a 'nanocentury' ?
could the waiting be in some ways tolerable ?
)
