Wow! There are so many words, how can I ever understand them all! Can you help me?
Sure! To start, the root "re" means, to do again. For example, the word "retract" means to pull.
What about the word captive?
The word captive consists of the root "cap" and the suffix "tive." The root word means take, so the suffix makes the word mean taken.
Ah, I see we have much work ahead of us. A prefixes and suffixes modify the root, which gives us our main meaning. A prefix comes before, a suffix after. To understand better, let's go on a field trip. Into the teleporter machine!
Wait! What do root words do compared to Prefixes and suffixes?!
WHOA, THIS IS COOL! I HATE CASTLES! WHY ARE WE SO FAR AWAY
Ah, but we are here for a reason other than to suit your adventurus spirit. We need to teach you, using a simple word: succeed. Using only the root ceed and prefix suc, it creates a word meaning, to win.
To learn about another word: fail. This is a classic example of a root standing on its own. It originally meant in crude latin totrip or fall, but as converted to english ove time it cam to mean what i does today. And what you get when you don't study for s test!
Why are we here?
F
That sentence is a perfect segue into our next couple words. Strain uses the root strain to mean to try hard/filter something. Volume uses Root vol and suffix ume to make the meaning the nouse something is at. And that's all the time we have, time togo back to Rome.
Why are we HERE? I need to strain to reach this volume!
