8/2/2018

0 Comments

 
The elemental structure of English is subject, verb, object, (SVO) however there is an even more elementary level of language and that is word roots. These are words which are created once you dress them up. You start with a root word like act and you find react (by adding the prefix re)and actual (by adding the suffix ual).  Words are the substance of language and  your vocabulary increases *exponentially  when you know the elements which work together to create  new words and new  meanings. Check out this post to find out about word chemistry.

​*to increase more and more rapidly.

How did you do? I hope you found the exercise interesting.  The answers to create a word that fits the definitions created with the root word "struct": 1. construction, 2. instruction, 3. obstruction 4. restructure  5. destruction.  The answers to part two and the root word "spire" .  1. perspire, 2. conspire  3. aspire  4. inspiration

Lefunny joke solution:  Not to get too technical, but alcohol is also a solution.  Stay in touch with bauenglish, like the page, join us on Facebook and get your business English, presentation  and cultural  lessons here.
