Latin roots "port" & "mot"

     Wow!!!! We finish the Summer Program today. These months have been very useful to develope our English knowledge and vocabulary with the help of Spelling City.

     Learning root words can be helpful in improving your vocabulary. When you know root words, you can recognize the root and use that knowledge to define a word you may not otherwise know. Of course, that is only a helpful technique if you know the meaning of root words.  Today we are going to check words with the root "port" or "mot". The root port means "carry". The root mot means "move".
       In Spelling City there is a representative  list of  the roots "mot & port":

 -Portable radios can be carried everywhere.

-Our car is the finest automobile ever made.

-They inpire and motivate me to work hard.

-He will transport the products by truck.

-The newspaper reporter wrote an article.

-They import foreign food into this country.

-Planes land on a runway at the airport.

-The motion of the boat made me seasick.

-The engine of the car is its motor.

-My boss will promote me to the next level.

     This was the last lesson. It was short and was the last but no for that it is unimportant, because in this English program, everything has been necesary to us. Every lesson, every word list, every activity, have done we as students, have been able to learn small and hidden rules English language that we didn´t know before. Just, I must say thank you Spelling City for this amazing adventure and thanks for the great experience that all lessons have provided me.
