Structure
Radical 糸 (いと・いとへん · Thread) · 13 strokes · school grade 4
Watch out
続く (intr.: 雨が続く, the rain keeps up) vs 続ける (tr.: 勉強を続ける). Verb stem + 続ける = keep doing: 走り続ける, 待ち続ける. 手続き (rendaku: つ → づ) is the word you will meet at city hall and the bank. The on-reading ゾク lives in 連続 (れんぞく, consecutive: 三日連続, 連続ドラマ) and 接続 (せつぞく, Wi-Fi connection).
