📚 Rules to Remember • Week 12

Rule 1 • Prefix <ac->

Latin prefix ac- (form of ad-) means "to" or "towards" (ac•cept: to take toward oneself).

Rule 2 • Prefix <ex->

Latin prefix ex- means "out", "away", or "from" (ex•cept, ex•cuse, ex•cite, ex•plain, ex•pect).

Rule 3 • Noun Suffix <-ment>

Adding -ment creates an abstract noun denoting a state or result (ex•cite•ment, de•vel•op•ment, gov•ern•ment).

Rule 4 • Homophone Pairs

Distinguish pairs: accept (receive) vs. except (excluding); access (entry) vs. excess (surplus).
