English Derivatives: A Practical Class Book is a textbook written by Blackwood Ketcham Benson and published in 1916. The book is designed to help students improve their vocabulary and understanding of the English language by studying word origins and derivations. The book is divided into two main sections. The first section provides an overview of the principles of word formation and includes chapters on prefixes, suffixes, roots, and compound words. The second section consists of a series of exercises and quizzes that test the student's knowledge of these principles. The exercises in the book are designed to be used in a classroom setting, with the teacher leading the class through each exercise and providing guidance and feedback. The exercises include matching words with their definitions, identifying the root words in compound words, and creating new words by adding prefixes and suffixes. English Derivatives: A Practical Class Book is a useful resource for students of all levels who want to improve their vocabulary and understanding of the English language.
