My dear friends
There is one thing which always clicks in your mind after coming out of the examination hall i.e had you crossed the sectional cut-off of English language .Even for some it becomes a nightmare. My friends as much as possible we will try to eliminate this nightmare.
Here we are with our 2nd session hope this will help you with your English language preparation.
English language is made up of four parts
GREEK ROOTS, GERMAN ROOTS, FRENCH ROOTS, LATIN ROOTS
Now if you learn these roots you can figure out the meaning of hundreds of English language words without even knowing their exact meaning.
The first question arises here is what is a root?
A root is the part of the word which gives instructions to a word .Now how many parts is a word made of?
A word is made up of three parts. For ex- subtracted
Sub (prefix) ——–tract (root) ———-ed (suffix)
Note: PREFIX—a word, letter or number placed before another.
SUFFIX—a letter or a group of letters added to the end of a word to change its meaning.
CASE 1
Consider BEL or BELLI as a ROOT means WAR, FIGHT, RESISTANCE, OPPOSES
Now with the help of this one root you can come out with conclusion of several other English words. Such as,
BELLIC—-warlike
BELLICISM—- The policy or practice of resorting to war even when it is not necessary and is avoidable.
BELLICIST—- Adherent of bellicism, advocate of war, one who is war-centred or war-oriented.

Synonyms —-Aggressive, Pugnacious, Combative, Insurrectionist, Insurgent.
Antonyms —-Affable, Amiable, Amicable.
CASE 2
ROOT —-AMI or AMO means LOVE, MORAL, EASY TO TALK TO
Now words we can guess of, such as
