As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students to review prefixes, root words, and suffixes.  Latin and Greek roots are the most common roots that appear in the English language.  I remind my students to focus more heavily on their review of prefixes and root words than suffixes.  However, knowing suffixes can also help expand knowledge of vocabulary words.  -Logy is one of the suffixes that I have included in my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide.  Do you know what suffix means study of?  I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
