Synopsis

This book collects 18 groups of common English suffixes and explains in detail the origin, meaning, part of speech and usage of each suffix in each group. It also combines a large number of examples to help readers understand the evolution of the meaning and part of speech of English words from the perspective of suffixes, learn to consult and understand English etymology dictionaries, and memorize and expand English words faster and more scientifically. Due to the etymological similarities between English and French, Italian, Spanish and other languages, learning the etymology of English actually holds the key to unlocking these second languages. At the same time, this book is also the first book in China that systematically explains and popularizes the origin of English words. It has great academic value and broad application value.

Reader comments

This book is really good! It not only introduces the origin and usage of English suffixes in detail, but also reminds me of my relatives and friends who learn English. They always complain that it is too difficult to memorize words, but the methods provided in this book can help them memorize and expand words more scientifically. Moreover, learning the etymology of English can also lay the foundation for learning other languages. It really serves multiple purposes! I think this book is very helpful for English learners and I recommend everyone to read it.
