Hello everyone, in our Lesson 23, we learnt about the prefix Eco. Eco represents the meanings house and environment. Today we shall see the prefixes en, em. Happy Reading :)
Day 24 : En, Em
- en, em- in; into; towards
Let's try to understand this with some examples
- engage (verb) = to make somebody take part in something
-
- en - Prefix = in
- gage (gager) - Root = to pledge
- empower (verb) = to give somebody the power or authority to do something.
