Vocabulary Unit 3 Review
Multiple-meaning words are words that have more than one meaning, depending on how they are used. Context clues can help you find the meaning
Unfamiliar words are words that you don’t know yet. Use the words around an unfamiliar word to figure out its meaning. Root Words A root word is a word from which other words are made. You can use a dictionary to find out roots of words Suffixes A suffix is a word part added to the end of a word to change its meaning. A suffix, for example, can make a verb into a noun. |
