Strategy:
- Read the text for general understanding.
- Decide what type of word you need for each gap (e.g. noun, adjective, etc.).
- Look at the whole sentence, not just al the line containing the gap.
- You may need to add a prefix or suffix to some words.
- Read through the text and check that your words make sense.
- Check your spelling.
Tips:
You need to read the whole text to get the writer’s opinion on the topic. That’s because sometimes a negative prefix will be required. There is usually at least one word requiring a negative prefix, so look out for these.
In the exam always write something. You never know, you might be lucky even if you are not sure of the answer!

Learn new vocabulary and become familiar with English words and how to modify them by adding or removing certain affixes (suffixes / prefixes) to form adjectives from nouns, adverbs from adjectives, verbs from adverbs, nouns from verbs or the other way around. Although there isn’t really a general formation rule that always works, once you have had enough practice with them, it gets easier to intuitively guess different forms of a given word even if you don’t know the meaning of it.
Complete the word forms chart below:
↑▲▲▲▲▲▲▲↑
In word formation exercises the learner is given the most basic form of a word, known as “the root” form. You need to change the prefix or suffix to adapt the word into the correct form and make it fit in the 8 gaps in the text so that it makes perfect sense.
The best way to do this exercise is to focus on the word class (type of word: noun, verb, adjective, adverb), grammar (singular or plural, verb tenses, +/-) and spelling. The words must be spelled correctly and if a capital letter is needed, it must be used.
You ought to think of this as a 3 step process:
What type of word do I want? Noun, verb, adjective or adverb.
What grammar is needed? Singular or plural noun, the tense of the verb
Is it affirmative or negative? Which prefix or suffix do I need?
To aid the candidate’s understanding of this part of the exam. we have included a prefix and suffix list, high frequency root words list and also example sentences with answers in the extra resource section.
