Greek and Latin Roots

By knowing and understanding Greek and Latin Roots, we can improve our vocabularies. This is because through the various activities we've done previously, I found out that many English words start with prefixes like Bio, Gen, Mater, which are all Greek and Latin Roots. If we know what they mean, we can expand our word bank by adding them to the appropriate words, e.g. BIOlogy, MATERnity, GENeration, etc. Therefore, our vocabularies will improve significantly.
