GRAMMAR Use words, phrases, clauses, and sentences to express clear and complete thoughts.
WORDS Words are built from parts; an understanding of Greek and Latin roots, prefixes, suffixes, and word families will help you determine the meanings of unfamiliar words.
GREEK & LATIN ROOTS
Many English words have been built from roots, or units of meaning, that come from Greek (G) or Latin (L).
aqua (L), meaning water,
as in aquarium and aquatic
bio (G), meaning life,
as in biography and biology
chron (G), meaning time,
as in chronic and chronology
dic (L), meaning speak,
as in contradict and dictate
graph (G), meaning write,
as in autobiography and autograph
PREFIXES
Letter combinations added to the beginnings of base words or roots are called prefixes.
Prefixes may change the meanings or parts of speech of base words.
The following prefixes are commonly used in English:
un-, meaning not or in opposition to,
as in uncomfortable
re-, meaning again or reverse,
as in rewrite and recall
il-, im-, in-, and ir-, meaning not or in opposition to,
as in illegal, impossible, indirect, and irregular
dis-, meaning not or in opposition to,
as in disappear
em- and en-, meaning cause to,
as in embody and encourage
SUFFIXES
Letter combinations added to the ends of base words or roots are called suffixes.
Inflectional suffixes indicate the forms of words, such as case, tense, part of speech, or number.
Derivational suffixes, which create new words, may change the meanings of base words.
The following suffixes are commonly used in English:
-es and -s indicate plurality, as in bushes and magazines
-ed indicates past tense, as in played
-ing indicates the present participle verb form, as in dreaming
-ly indicates a characteristic of,
as in neighborly
-er and -or indicate a person associated with,
as in preacher and inventor
SYNONYMS
Many words in English have similar meanings. Words with similar meanings are called synonyms.
By understanding the shades of meaning that distinguish synonyms, a writer can choose the best word to convey his or her meaning; for example,
sorry: expression of apology or mild regret
remorseful: full of a deep sense of guilt over a wrong
repentant: characterized by a feeling of sorrow over a sin
ANTONYMS
Many words in English have opposing meanings. Words with opposing meanings are called antonyms.
Writers may use antonyms to convey contrast.
The hikers are free to move about the nature preserve; there are no restricted areas.
The mother worked to pacify the cranky child with a toy. She did not
