Students’ wisdom on separable verbs and prepositions


My student N. recently said, "You need one verb and 20 prefixes, and you comfortably can speak the German language."
Nehmen wir lassen.
lassen = to let, to allow
Lass das! Wir lassen die Kinder bis 21 Uhr spielen.
For lassen we found 13 prefixes.
Separable verbs are with lassen are zulassen, auflassen, anlassen, ablassen, einlassen, auslassen, weglassen
Inseparable verbs with lassen are unterlassen, hinterlassen, verlassen, veranlassen, belassen, entlassen.
Who knows more prefixes for lassen?


Student S. has a good idea to explain certain prepositions.
an = vor + Kontakt.
auf = über + Kontakt.
