Exploring Inflectional Endings and Latin Roots in Words

In this lesson, we delve into the concept of inflectional endings and how accenting different syllables can change the meaning of words in English. We will learn that nouns often have the accent on the first syllable while verbs typically have it on the second. By using examples with Latin roots and prefixes, such as "produce" and "combat", students will enhance their understanding of word formation and pronunciation. Engage in interactive activities to identify syllables and practice spelling words with inflectional endings.

  3. MOST of the time, in a 2 syllable word, NOUNS are accented on the 1st syllable…and VERBS are accented on the 2nd syllable. • We will divide the syllables with a slash mark (/). • We will show the accent (voice inflection) by writing the accented syllable in all CAPITAL letters. Noun or Verb?
