☑️ Study activity - Word Fundamentals ☑️

Hello guys :) Let's learn how basic word parts unlock the meaning of unfamiliar words. As you know word roots, prefixes, and suffixes are the basic parts out of which words are built.

🔘 For example let's see the word PREdiction ( PRE - before). So a prefix appears at the beginning of a word to modify its meaning.
Now preDICTion ( DICT - to say). A word root is the basic unit of meaning in a word to which prefixes and suffixes can be added;
And predictION ( ION - act or process). A suffix appears at the end of a word to modify its meaning or part of speech.

⭕️ Learn the following 9️⃣ essential word roots, prefixes, and suffixes:

🔘 root AUTO
🔸Meaning - self
🔸Examples: automatic, autonomy

🔘 root FORT
🔸Meaning - strong
🔸Examples: effort, fortress

🔘 root - SCRIPT
🔸Meaning - write
🔸Examples: denoscription, manunoscript

🔘 prefix - ANTI
🔸Meaning - opposed to or against.
🔸Examples: antihero, antisocial

🔘 prefix - EX
🔸Meaning - not or out of
🔸Examples: exclude, exit

🔘 prefix - MIS
🔸Meaning - wrong or badly.
🔸Examples: misshapen, misunderstand.

🔘 suffix - AL
🔸Meaning - relating to
🔸Examples: historical, rehearsal.

🔘 suffix - FUL
🔸Meaning - full of.
🔸Examples: grateful, merciful.

🔘 suffix - ION
🔸Meaning - act or process.
🔸Examples: consideration, desperation.

❗️ The importance of word parts:❗️

⭕️There are more than 1 million different word parts in use the English language, and it's growing and changing all the time.

⭕️ The average person's vocabulary ranges from 20,000-35,000 words. While it is impossible to know every English word, it is possible to expand your vocabulary by learning the pieces that make up individual words: word roots, prefixes and suffixes.

⭕️You can unlock the meanings of difficult words by learning frequently used word parts and their combinations.

⭕️Breaking words into smaller parts is an efficient and systematic method that allows you to recognize unfamiliar words and build your vocabulary more quickly than by memorization alone.
