PREFIX/SUFFIX EXERCISES


During the Use of English part of the exam you will sometimes have to change the form of a given word by adding a prefix or a suffix.

It is extremely important that you read the whole text first, because then you will understand the context, and it will make it easier for you to understand what form of the word you will need to put into the gaps.

Focus on the word that comes before or after the gap.  Is it a noun?  Is it a verb?  If the word is a noun, then there's a pretty good chance you'll need an adjective.  If the word is a verb, then it's likely you'll need an adverb.

And when you have some free time read as much as you can.  Read something online, read a magazine, read a newspaper, read a novel - just read.  And make sure it's in English ;)

Now it's practice time! :)
