Everyday Vocabulary
PTE General rewards a broad, natural vocabulary. This chapter looks at descriptive adjectives, common collocations, and useful compound words.
Descriptive Adjectives
Strong adjectives add colour: 'breathtaking' scenery, a 'hasty' decision. Choose the word whose exact meaning fits the situation.
Collocations and Compounds
Verbs pair with objects in fixed ways ('hold the door open'), and compound adjectives like 'user-friendly' must be formed and spelled correctly.
