Root words: understand word parts
A root is the central part of a word that holds its primary meaning. An independent root can stand alone as a common English word, such as use, care, or wash.

Prefixes sit before the root to shift its direction or action, while suffixes sit after the root to establish its grammatical role as a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb.

Material nouns: rules and simple examples

Elicit or Illicit: How to Choose
To elicit something means to bring out a reply, emotion, or statement from another person through questions or actions.

Speaking in class: how to stay calm
Nervous tension usually comes from the pressure to say everything at once. Effective class speaking requires the opposite approach: reduce your message to one clear statement supported by one concrete detail. A focused response is easier for your classmates to follow and much easier for you to produce under pressure.
