- The suffix -ology from logos (word) is often used to mean the study of a particular subject. E.G. biology, psychology & geology.
- The letters 'ph' are also a common combination of greek words.
- Words which end in -ation almost always come from Latin such as population, creation & station. This is also similar for words ending in -ect like direct.
- English has also borrowed many Latin prefixes. A prefix is a small group of wrods that can be put at the start of a word to change the meaning for example:
Inter- between/among international & intermingle
Pre- before premarital & premenstrual
Non- not non-violence & non-event
