This is the way I learned it when I was younger: Prefixes go BEFORE the word. Root words are the MAIN PART of the word. Suffixes go AFTER the word. For example, in "unlikeable": The prefix is "un-" (it means "opposite" or "reverse") The root word is "like" The suffix is "able" (it means "can" or "can be done") When I was in elementary school, my teachers gave us lists of 30-50 related words to memorize every week. For example, one week, the list might look like this: predetermine: to determine in advance premeditate: to plan in advance prescience: knowledge of something before it happens premature: not yet mature etc. I'd memorize lots of words that have the same prefix/suffix together, so you can start to recognize the patterns. Here are some lists you might find helpful: http://teacher.scholastic.com/reading/bestpractices/vocabulary/pdf/prefixes_suffixes.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffix

A clothing rack is the horizontal pole in your closet that you hang your clothes on (but I think it's more common to call this a "clothing rod"). A clothing rack can also be a pole or a circular stand like the ones you find in department stores. i.e., "She found a cute dress on the clearance rack at Macy's." A hanger is the hooked, triangular thing you put inside a shirt (or whatever) before you hang it on a clothing rod. i.e., "I prefer plastic hangers over wire hangers. Wire hangers get bent too easily." A coat rack is the tall, vertical pole that has hooks on it for your guests' coats, scarves, etc. They're the things people usually keep near their front doors. i.e., "There's a coat rack near the door, if you don't want to wear your jacket inside." They're not interchangeable, but they are similar concepts.

This was already answered pretty well, but I'll just chime in as well. :) It's the same as saying, "It felt like time was moving very slowly while I waited for him to arrive."

In general, a suggestion is something you propose that the OTHER PERSON do. An offer is something you propose YOU YOURSELF do. For example: suggestion: "You look tired. Why don't you take a break?" offer: "You look tired. How about I make you some tea?" or, to suggest: "I suggested she take a break, but she wouldn't listen to me." to offer: "I offered to make her some tea, but she didn't want any." So, if the speaker uses "suggest," the LISTENER is responsible for the act. If the speaker uses "offer," the SPEAKER is responsible for the act. There are exceptions to this rule, of course. This is just a broad generalization.

As far as I know, "YouTuber" is the correct way to write it, but you'll often see "Youtuber" and "youtuber" on the web because someone made a typo or they're not familiar with English capitalization rules. As far as I know, they all have the same meaning. Actually, I think the most common way to write it is this: "Fall" from "The Four Seasons" by Vivaldi. After that: "Fall" from Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" After that: Vivaldi's "L'autunno" As for "Fall" of "The Four Seasons" by Vivaldi, that's not really correct. You should use "from," not "of," to connect the smaller work to the greater work. Otherwise, it sounds like "Fall of the Four Seasons" by Vivaldi.

1. mum's the word This is usually used in British English, I think. As an American, I get strange looks whenever I use this phrase, though most people do understand it. 2. my lips are sealed It's a fairly common phrase. 3. keep it under wraps This is a fairly common phrase too. 4. a little dickie bird has told me I've never heard anyone say this exact phrase before. However, people do say, "A little bird told me." 5. keep it to yourself Definitely a common phrase. 6. to let the cat out of the bag We usually would say, "Don't let the cat out of the bag," but yes, people do use this fairly commonly.

"Probability" is related to mathematics/science. "Likelihood" sounds more literary. However, in everyday speech, people use the two interchangeably. There's not much of a difference between them. If anything, I'd say that using "probability" makes the speaker sound a little smarter / more formal, whereas using "likelihood" makes one's speech sound more colloquial.
