Sometimes we borrow words from other languages - we either change them or just use them exactly as they are.

8. Latin was the language spoken by the ancient Romans
Latin was the language spoken by the ancient Romans. As the Romans conquered most of Europe, the Latin language spread throughout the region. Over time, the Latin spoken in different areas developed into separate languages, including Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. These languages are considered “sisters,” as they all descended from Latin, their “mother” language.

9. In 1066 England was conquered by William, duke of Normandy, which is in northern France. For several hundred years after the Norman invasion, French was the language of court and polite society in England. It was during this period that many French words were borrowed into English. Linguists estimate that some 60% of our common everyday vocabulary today comes from French. Thus many Latin words came into English indirectly through French.

11. During the 17th and 18th centuries, dictionary writers and grammarians generally felt that English was an imperfect language whereas Latin was perfect. In order to improve the language, they deliberately made up a lot of English words from Latin words. For example, fraternity, from Latin fraternitas, was thought to be better than the native English word brotherhood.

Another way that we make up words is that sometimes we just use pieces of words to make up new words. We are going to start learning about these pieces of words so that you can be more familiar with the words you see every day.

13. Word Parts
A word root is a part of a word. It contains the core meaning of the word, but it cannot stand alone.
A prefix is also a word part that cannot stand alone. It is placed at the beginning of a word to change its meaning.
A suffix is a word part that is placed at the end of a word to change its meaning.
Did you notice anything about the prefixes and suffixes that we saw in the video? What do they look like? (prefix has word then -, suffix is opposite)
