...Hopefully you got the right idea from my confused explanation.

But yeah, I would say, more.

"Sprechen" - "speak"; "versprechen" - "promise"; "entsprechen" - "correspond".

"Geben" - "give"; "angeben" - "hint"; "wiedergeben" - "pass (onto somebody)".

And my favorite, currently - "führen" - "lead"; "verführen" - "seduce"; "vorführen" - "demonstrate (how something is done)".

...A whole mess. :shrug:
