Word CreationsQuick Lesson—Roots can be combined to make larger words.
Example: tele (distant) + graph (writing) = telegraph ➜ A telegraph is a system for sending a message far away.
Sentence: Before texting, people used telegraphs to share very important news.
Directions: Look at your Roots Lists and see which roots can be combined to make words. You may add prefixes and suffixes to the new word if you like.
1. root 1

= new word
3. root 1
+ root 2
= new word
4. root 1

= new word
Directions: Now have some fun. Attach two or three Greek or Latin roots from your lists to create new “made-up” words. These should not be real words found in the dictionary, but words that you made up. Write a definition for each word based on the roots you used.
Example: tele (distant) + vid (to see) + mit (to send) = televidmit which means to see someone sent far away
5. root 1

Name: Prefixes
Prefixes: co-, col-, com-, and con-Quick Lesson—The prefixes co-, col-, com-, and con- can all mean with or together.
As words evolved, one of the variations of these prefixes was chosen over another because it made the word easier to pronounce.
Examples: Coalition is easy to say but colalition is more difficult. And construct seems easier to say than colstruct, doesn’t it?
Directions: Match the words in the Word Bank to one of the definitions in the column on the right.
Word Bank

2. coexist
3. collaborate
4. combine
5. companion
6. connect
7. construct
8. coincidence
9. collect
10. compress
11. coauthor
a. bring together, merge
b. exist together or at the same time

f. person who accompanies another
g. person who writes with another author
h. press together
i. two things occurring at the same time
j. union; group getting together for a special purpose

Name: Prefixes
Add a Prefix, Make an AntonymQuick Lesson—An antonym is a word that means the exact opposite. Adding a prefix to a root or word can sometimes change the meaning of the word to mean its opposite.
Note: The part of speech does not change with the addition of the prefix.
Example: symmetrical (adj.) ➜ even or the same on both sides of a dividing line
asymmetrical (adj.) ➜ not even or the same on either side of a dividing line
Directions: Look at the boldface pairs of words below. The pairs are opposites. Use your Common Prefixes List (page 44) and a dictionary to find the definitions for each word. Write the definitions for the new words on the lines provided.
1. export (v.) —
import (v.) —
2. increase (v.) —
decrease (v.) —
3. appear (v.) —
