Hello readers! This is our second week of the term. we’ve been learning biographies about our family and PAT questions; But the main topic about this blog is, PHOM PRACTICE!!!
Meaning
“But Kas! What is PHOM Practice!?” I’ll tell you what me and my class have begun learning. The word PHOM is about prefixes and suffixes. We started with prefixes and are still learning about them; which was when you put a group of letters at the start of a word, which changes the word and its whole meaning. For example, the word Vict, comes from a word meaning to conquer or overcome. Now if we add the letter E to it at the beginning it turns into Evict; which means to force someone out of a place. So then you’d now get a whole new word.
Examples
Here are some more examples of words with the prefix E:
Rupt + E = Erupt
Old Meaning: Rupt means to break.
New Meaning: Erupt means to break out of something suddenly.
Sentence: The volcano may erupt and shoot lava out of the top.
Vade + E = Evade
Old Meaning: Vade comes from a word meaning to go or walk.
New Meaning: Evade means to get away from something or avoid being caught.
Sentence: The speedy player tried to evade the defender.
Rase + E = Erase
Old Meaning: Rase comes from a word meaning to scrape or wipe.
New Meaning: Erase means to wipe out or remove something.
Sentence:I had to erase the mistake in my school project.
If you’ve fully read this blog thank you! I will now be seeing myself out!
Kind Regards,
Kasaina.
