Stem

This week I had learned about prefix ,stem and suffix from Vocabulary class.
,but today I will talk about Stem.
The difinition of stem is a word's main part .A stem gives the basic meaning of a word.
Example:
-dict-,-dicts-      meaning: say, speak         Ex.dictator,predict
-dorm-               meaning: sleep                 Ex.dormant,dormitory
-log-,-ology-       meaning:word,study         Ex.logic,dialogue,psychology

this example give the basic meaning of each word. It really help to find the difinition of the word.
