Anni - Unit 21

Common Prefixes and Suffixes

These might be pretty easy to learn as they are for common words and may not take too much time to learn.

Phrasing Principle
These examples will give you an idea of how to phrase if you ever need to.
You may prefer to study these in sections. Similar phrases grouped together. Then all together. Then by rows. Etc.


Writing Practice
Another writing practice for this unit.
Write as much as you can in shorthand and ask here if you're not sure of an outline you've written.

The phrases presented are "modified" outlines. However, they are still readable. That is the goal. If you can read it as a phrase and not a word, you have understood the phrasing principle. This is good to see how these are formed if you ever decide to create your own phrases (there's a thread on this in Intermediate, so wait to do this).

If you are reading something and the word just doesn't make sense as you try to sound it out, try it as a phrase. I do that a lot because later versions didn't have this many phrases. I learned a later version first. Also, the reverse will work. If you think something looks like a phrase and it's not working in the context of the sentence, go back and try it as word. This will only happen once in a while, but it can happen.

Once you become proficient in reading (by reading a lot), you won't have these problems.

The vowel in baggage is omitted to distinguish the form from package.
