English words can be split typically at syllable boundaries, which are determined by the sounds within the word. Other methods for splitting words can be based on prefixes, suffixes, or root words. It's important to understand the pronunciation rules and patterns in English to know where to split words properly.
Root words are parts of words that the structure is based off of. Suffixes come after the root word. Both of these have meaning from the Greek and Latin language.
Two words with the Latin suffix "-vive" are "survive" and "revive." These suffixes are derived from the Latin word "vivere," meaning "to live."
Base words with no change are those words that do not have any prefixes or suffixes added to them. Examples include "work," "play," and "read." These are the simplest form of words and can be modified by adding prefixes or suffixes to create new words.
