Word Formation

These items give a base word and ask for the correct derived form. Advanced items add prefixes and less common suffixes, so control of both is needed.

Deriving the Right Form

After an adjective like 'public' or 'remarkable', a noun follows ('confidence', 'conciseness'). After a linking verb plus an adverb, an adjective describes the subject ('economically unviable').

Prefixes and Verb-Forming Suffixes

Negative prefixes such as 'un-' reverse meaning ('unviable'), while suffixes like '-ise' form verbs ('minimise'). After 'intended to' the base verb form is required.
