Word of the Week

chief

Meaning the leader or ruler of a group of people or clan.

Example of using it in a sentence "The chief of the village is called David."

This word comes from the Latin meaning the head. Today, we still talk about a leader in an origination as the head (of a school) or the chief (prosecutor).

Spelling tip: This is one we just need to learn. The ‘ee’ sound is made by the ‘ie’ diagraph.

ch + ie + f

Use the word as many times throughout the week. This can be verbally, in your written work or listen out for other people using it.
