Vocabulary Drill - Word Parts I

Main Concept
Determine the meaning of unknown words by looking for parts of those words that you already
know.

Word parts include word roots, prefixes, and suffixes.

Examples of words that share parts. If you know the meaning of the word on the right, you can probably figure out the
meaning of the word on the left using word parts.

predecessors n. - precede v.

boding n. - foreboding n
solace n. - console v.

Remember this...
Look for word parts you know as a tool to determine the meaning of words you don't know.
