以下是小站教育小编为同学们整理的SSAT写作考试词根总结一，希望对大家的备考有所帮助。
1.后缀
后缀可以告诉我们单词的词性。举例：以下SSAT都包含基本的后缀。
-ness happiness, friendliness
-able perishable, amiable
-ous androgynous, fibrous
-ity animosity, charity
-ology psychology, sociology
-ical tyrannical, hypothetical
-archy monarchy, anarchy, matriarchy
-less fearless, artless
2.前缀和词根
前缀在单词的开头，词根可以在单词的任何位置。这两种单词的部分都对记忆单词有很大帮助。比如，考生遇见vociferous，可以思考其中voc这个词根，尽量想出同样含有voc的其它单词。我们知道vocal和说话有关系，自然可以推断出vociferous同样和说话有关系。如果能想象vociferous表示喊叫，那么剩下的意思也可以记住：说话大声并且不连续的。
注意voc在vociferous和vocal中的发音不同。词根经常会改变发音，很多词根已经出现几百年了。随着时间的推移，不光发音会变化，含义也会变化，所以现在的单词含义已经不是简单的词根累加了。所以词根学习不能取代查字典，只能帮助记忆新词汇并且对词汇进行分组。
