I have seen many ways to help remember words, such as Lenovo memory and root font memory. the findings are not very reliable. In retrospect, those methods did not bring me too much help. of course, this varies from person to person, and some may feel helpful.

However, it is really useful to use the suffix to help remember some words. Of course, it is only useful for some words. the suffix is useful because it has a certain regularity and is suitable for many words. we know that the ability of Chinese to construct new words through existing words is very powerful. For example, many new academic terms come out through a combination of several common Chinese characters, such as the famous melamine, these four words are all used in the past, and they come out after being combined. There are no new words at all. if the word "tripolympus cyanamide" is not used in English before, you have to start from the beginning. it's not easy to remember this long string.

You may think that the old and old people are so stupid. They don't have to combine words for a few days, so they have to create a new word. in fact, the combination of book and shop is bookshop, which is the same as that of Chinese, but this method is not universally applicable, because an English word is a string of letters, it would be too ugly to look at it if multiple words are combined. imagine how scary the word "People's Republic of China" can be in English. the combination of Chinese characters is not long. since many phrases in English are not widely used to create new words, it is more suitable to add suffixes.

 

Why are English grammar rules messy?

What you can most easily think of with a suffix is the plural nouns, vertices, and third person singular. in fact, you can understand that a new word is added with a suffix. however, we found that these suffixes have different rules and are extremely different. it may be because those countries in the West often had turmoil in ancient times, and few of them were a great country that unified the world, and culture was inherited. as a result, people scattered in different regions use different syntaxes. at last, the scattered syntaxes were merged. you can understand the complex syntax as a hodgedge of the syntax invented by many people, rather than the syntax constructed by someone. if a person could invent so many syntaxes, he would be split. if all the English grammar rules are unified, it will be easy to learn English. but the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is not so perfect. You can only adapt yourself to this imperfect world ~

 

A search on the Internet will actually find many suffixes with prefixes, but it will take a lot of time to remember these suffixes. at the beginning, you may just need to take a few eye-catching notes for help. just like the root of the word, it's okay to take a few moments to play and remember more. the result is much harder to remember than the word root.
