Word families
Complete the word families from the word given. Based loosely on the Academic Word List (AWL), these exercises will give you some practice in word formation.
Notes
- Where two possibilities exist, I’ve gone for the simpler one, so creation rather than creativity, conceive rather than conceptualise, etc.
- Verbs like realise, recognise etc are spelt with the British -ise ending.
- Word families are taken from the Academic Word List, and the lists reflect the sublists in the AWL. So List 1 contains the most common words, List 10 the least common words. The idea is to master the earlier goups before going on to the later groups.
- Adjectives in these lists are usually formed with suffixes, such as -able, -ive, -ical. I’ve only used -ed, -ing adjectives when they are the only possibility. I these few cases I’ve chosen the most common.
- The exercises currently cover the first four sublists of the AWL. More to follow.
- Printing — the exercise will print cleanly on Page 2

Nouns and adverbs and verbs, oh my!
Parts of speech are the building blocks for English sentences, and studying them early on can be beneficial for English language learners. Along with common sentence patterns, learning the parts of speech (nouns, verbs, prepositions, etc.) can help students form English sentences more easily.
But how do students know which vocabulary words are nouns, verbs, etc.? This is where suffixes (word endings) come into play. Learning common word endings can help students easily guess at the part of speech of a new vocabulary term.
Parts of speech and suffixes aren’t just for beginner students. This knowledge can boost students’ abilities in both grammar and vocabulary at any level, and is quite useful for higher‑level students who need to decipher complex and unfamiliar words. Learning and practicing word families in context can help higher-level students with speaking and writing as well as on tests such as the TOEIC.
Try presenting the word family chart below to your intermediate- to advanced‑ level learners, and then see if they can complete the following practice exercise. Subscribers can access a printable pdf of the chart and exercise here: Advanced Word Families. See our Parts of Speech lesson for lower‑level practice.
| Verb | Noun | Adjective | Adverb |
|---|---|---|---|
| act | action | active | actively |
| apologize | apology | apologetic | apologetically |
| beautify | beauty | beautiful | beautifully |
| believe | belief | believable | believably |
| benefit | benefit | beneficial | beneficially |
| care | care | careful | carefully |
| create | creation | creative | creatively |
| decide | decision | decisive | decisively |
| differ | difference | different | differently |
| divide | division | divisive | divisively |
| exclude | exclusion | exclusive | exclusively |
| identify | identification | identifiable | identifiably |
| justify | justification | justifiable | justifiably |
| protect | protection | protective | protectively |
| rely | reliability | reliable | reliably |
| signify | significance | significant | significantly |
| succeed | success | successful | successfully |
| tolerate | tolerance | tolerable | tolerably |
| understand | understanding | understandable | understandably |
