root

<span>root - the basic part of a word
example: reCONSTRUCTion

prefix - an addition before the root of a word
example: REconstruction

suffix - an addition at the end of the root of a word
example: reconstructION

The root is what contributes to the basic meaning of a word - prefixes and suffixes serve to narrow down the meaning - who, when, how, in what tense
example: re - again
construct - to build
ion - the action of

So the word RECONSTRUCTION would mean "the action of building again."

Hope that helped! Good luck! :)

P.S. Although you didn't ask for it, the subject is the object in the sentence that is performing the predicate
example: The girl ran to the store.
girl - subject
ran - predicate

It doesn't really have much in common with roots, prefixes and suffixes, all which are similar in function </span> Source(s): Teaching English

Okay, so syntax is sometimes called grammar, but the word grammar is also used more broadly to refer to various aspects of language and its usage. In traditional grammar syntax, a sentence is analysed as having two parts, a subject and a predicate.


Syntax refers to word order, and the way in which it works with grammatical structures. As we are used to hearing things in certain orders, the effect of breaking with normal syntax is to draw attention to what is being said and the way it is.


Now Alternative Syntax: is for its control structure; namely, if, while, for, for each, and switch. In each case, the basic for of alternative syntax is to change the opening brace to a colon ( : ) and the closing brace to end if;, endwhile;, endfor; endforeach;, or endswitch; respectful y


I hope I could help, that's all I really know about it, so if you need some more help, you should probably ask your teacher. :) have a great day.
