Read the sentence several times.

Eg. There has been a great ____________ in the economy. (improve)

What category of word is the word given in brackets?

VERB

Now that you know the category of word you need and its meaning decide whether you will add:

  • a suffix ( at the end of the word) eg. -ment, -ness, etc
Eg. " There is a great improvement in the economy"
  • a prefix ( at the beginning of the word)eg. un- , dis- , etc
Eg. " It is totally unnecessary to do this exercise."
  • both a suffix and a prefix eg. - ed , en-
Eg. " Endangered animals should be protected"

Eg. " These instructions are totally ____________. We don´t know how to operate this machine." (USE)
