Eng vocab — Foundational Vocabulary & Word Structure + 5 more topics

You're going to learn how words are constructed using three main components: roots, prefixes, and suffixes.

• Roots: These are the core building blocks of a word. They carry the primary meaning. A root can't usually stand alone as a word by itself (e.g., -ject-).

• Prefixes: These are word parts added to the beginning of a root word. They change or add to the meaning of the root (e.g., re-, un-).
