Hi Sylver!
✏️ Lesson Introduction: Spelling Words with Base Elements
Many English words are built from base elements (also called roots).
A base word is the main part that gives a word its meaning.
By adding prefixes (beginnings) or suffixes (endings), we can create new words.
👉 Example:
Base word: play
With suffix: playing, playful, played
With prefix: replay
Learning base elements helps us spell words correctly and understand their meanings.
