Latin and Greek are often called "dead" languages. But their influence can be seen throughout the language we use today, and a knowledge of our classical roots is essential to a proper understanding of the construction of English. This book charts the historical spread of Latin through Britain and the world, and encourages students to take an active role in exploring the ways in which Latin and Greek have helped give English the shape it has today. Our Greek and Latin Roots is full of fascinating information and stimulating exercises, all of which are accessible to teachers and students with little or no knowledge of classical languages.
