A root word is the
simplest form of a
word. When you
read an unfamiliar
word, look for the
root word. Then use
the root word to
figure out what the
word means.
Considerate
I know that the root word
is consider. To consider
something means to
think about it. Being
considerate means to
be thoughtful of others
feelings.
