Root words can help us build new words and understand new words.

• Root words like cycle and tract, for example can make other words by adding prefixes and suffixes to them

• Pre (meaning before) and suf (meaning after) are "fixed" to the root word to help build meaning.

• bicycle (two+turn), Cylone (turning wind storm)

• extract (remove + pull ) tractor (pulling maching)

Multiple Choice
