In English grammar, many words can be broken into commonly shared components. Learning
these basic components will help you decipher unfamiliar vocabulary—learning only thirty key
word components can help you decode over 10,000 words!
Roots carry the basic meaning, prefixes come before roots and alter their meaning, and suffixes
come after roots and alter either their meaning or their part of speech (noun, verb, adjective,
adverb). Because English is related to French, German, Latin, and Greek, many of these
components will look familiar to students of those languages.
