Learn Hundreds of 11+ Vocabulary words Quickly with roots! *Learn important Greek and Latin roots and vocabulary words derived from these. *Get to really know the words, acquire and internalise vocabulary for use and not to simply memorise a word list. *Consolidate your learning with the help of varied and interesting exercises. You will learn not just new vocabulary words, but will also; -Know the dictionary definition (denotation) and associations of the word (connotation). -Understand the chain of reasoning between the classical root(s) and modern English usage. -Know how to spell and pronounce the words that originate from these roots. -Know the part of speech, e.g. noun, verb or adjective. -Know how to use the word correctly in a sentence. -Know which words it does, or does not collocate with. Organisation of the Book *This book contains ten units each comprising two lessons, A and B. These focus on roots used in the expression of core concepts and general functions in English. *It also includes answers to exercises and a word list. *Unlike many other vocabulary books, roots and derived words are not chosen at random. Each unit, and each lesson has a topic. These should help you remember the new words and use them in context. *Each root or group of related roots has a separate page. *There are 5 target words per page for each root or group of related roots. *Each lesson ends with points to note about the usage of roots. *Each unit concludes with 3 exercises designed to practise the vocabulary from both lessons and the points noted. *There are consolidation activities after every 5 units. *Where possible target words have been recycled in definitions and examples in subsequent units. Words so recycled are shown in bold. Use the word list in Section C to find the original reference.
