I have had a great fun doing and checking my online-work Now, let me do Rachel's list. You're right, Izzy: "important" has three syllables. Usually, we divide the word between the two consonants, so the word is im-por-tant.

We've got the prefix un- , meaning "not"; we've got the root word employ meaning "give a job"; we've got the suffix to identify a noun form -ment.

The other rule, which Rachel hinted at, is, for example, when a word contains a double consonant, one of those consonants will appear on one line and other other on the next line. So, for instance, is I have a word like syllable and I don't have enough room to write it all at the end of one line, I can write syl- and then at the beginning of the next line write lable.

Another example is written : writ- at the end of one line, and ten at the beginning of the next line. Nap time again, Izzy. I'm getting old!
