something needed before something else
Something that you must have or do before you can do something else.
Tipar de utilizare:
a prerequisite for/to [something]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes use "prerequisite" when they only mean something is helpful, not truly required. "Prerequisite" should be used only when the other thing cannot happen without it. They may also say "prerequisite of" when talking about purpose; in this case, "prerequisite for" is usually more natural (e.g., "a prerequisite for the course").
