Memory method 1. Classification In general English dictionaries, although the meanings of father and mother are closely related and belong to the same family, one is in the East and the other is in the West, which does not conform to the characteristics and laws of human brain memory.
Therefore, it is more beneficial for people to remember words by identifying and summarizing them by classification. For example:

Memory method 3. It is not advisable to ignore the collocation relationship between words by combining sentence methods and memorize words in isolation from sentences.
After mastering grammar, English learners hope to further improve their expressive ability and gradually approach authentic English. They must study hard the collocation of phrases, phrases and idioms, recite some idioms, aphorisms and famous sayings, and learn the meaning of words in combination with some sentences. Only in this way can they further improve their practical English application ability.

Memory method 4. There are three main word-formation methods in root and affix English. Transformation, derivation and synthesis. We know a Chinese one? Woman? Words can be composed of: she, wife, milk, mother, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister-in-law, aunt, daughter-in-law and so on.
In English, it is called derivative word formation. If there are more than one million English words, there must be more than 600,000 words composed of roots and affixes, while the total number of roots and affixes in English is about 8,000, and only about 600 are common.
If we want to grasp English and enjoy it freely, we must learn roots and affixes systematically and solidly. Roots and affixes are one of the most useful tools to open the treasure house of English vocabulary.
The root is the core part of a word, and the meaning of a word is mainly reflected by it. They can form words independently or mutually.
For example: circ = circle, circle, circle, circle, circle, circle, circle ornament, circle, circle; Cid, cis = cut, cut, kill suicide; Gon = angle trigon triangle; Flu=flow Smooth flow means smooth, smooth, fluctuating, fluctuating, fluctuating; Actually, fac = running a factory.
Affix refers to the smallest morpheme added before or after the root. It also has certain significance, but it cannot exist independently and must be attached to the root. Affixes can be divided into prefixes (added before the root) and suffixes (added after the root).
Generally, prefixes change the meaning of words and suffixes change the part of speech. For example, the prefix: re (re, re) pre (advance, advance) review (re, which means review) prediction (advance, which means prediction).
Suffixes: al (adding roots can turn nouns into adjectives), er, ist (generally adding roots means people), national (adjectives, nationalities, countries), teacher (teachers) and artist (artists, painters).
Mastering some basic roots, prefixes and suffixes is very helpful for expanding vocabulary, and can play a role in drawing inferences from others. Words with roots and affixes need a certain English foundation. It is difficult for beginners to use this method well. The method is scientific, but not necessarily easy to learn. Word formation)
