Derivational Relations
Sort 35: Latin roots (duc/duct, sequ/sec, flu, ver/
vert)
Still more root words to help us expand our
language. “duc/duct”=lead; “sequ/sec”=follow;
“flu”=flow; “ver/vert”=turn
Did you find any words where the root might have seemed
puzzling to you? Think carefully about how the root
word could be related to the meaning you know.

Derivational Relations
Sort 36: Latin roots (bene, mal,) and prefixes (ante–
post-)
These roots and prefixes allow you to explore some
opposite meanings. “bene”=good or well; “mal”=bad;
“ante-”=before; “post-”=after
While these roots and prefixes help you better
understand the meanings of these words, how many
unfamiliar words did you need to look up?
