The three main linguistic models of word construction that constitute the English language are: Latinate Word Construction (55%), Anglo-Saxon Word Construction (25%), and Greek Word Construction (11%). Familiarizing yourself with Greek word construction will prove invaluable in mastering vocabulary. Although only eleven percent of the words in the English code are Greek in origin, the overwhelming majority of words used in science, math, and medicine are Greek in origin. This index will serve as a wonderful resource for SAT and ACT preparation.
During this training module, you will be presented with 120 Greek combining forms. Each combining form is presented on its own slide. Immediately after the combining form, you will find a slide that contains a keyword that utilizes the combining form, the definition of the combining form, and five additional examples of the combining form in use.
