Chapter 4

Word formation
As the name clearly indicates, this section of the Advanced exam is designed to test your lexical (vocabulary) skills. In
this task there is a text with ten gaps (plus one example), then at the end of each line with a gap you will see a word in
capital letters, e.g. USE. You must form a new word based on the word in capitals to fill the gap. So, from USE, you
might form useful, usefully, usefulness, useless, user, usage, etc.

You need to decide what kind of word (i.e. part of speech) goes in the gap: an adjective (e.g. strong), a verb (e.g.
strengthen), a noun (e.g. strength) or an adverb (e.g. strongly). You must also spell each word correctly and write IN
CAPITAL LETTERS to get the mark - US and UK spellings are both accepted.

Candidates who have previously taken the Cambridge First should be able to recognise this part of the exam, and they
should also know what kind of changes they are expected to make to get the mark. However, while knowledge of
prefixes and suffixes is usually the norm at First level, at the Advanced level, candidates are sometimes tested on the
formation of compound nouns (e.g. bulletproof) and compound adjectives (e.g. well mannered). These increase in
frequency and complexity by the moment candidates decide to take the Proficiency, in which less common words are
included in the exams. Candidates should also be aware that words can have two prefixes (e.g. over-re-act) or two
suffixes (e.g. weight-less-ness) at the same time, or even have up to three affixes (e.g. over-re-act-ion). However,
these are quite infrequent in the test.

Identifying parts of speech

1. What part of speech is needed to complete each gap - an adjective, an adverb, a verb or a
noun? How do you know? Suggest a word that could fill each gap.

Sandilands is one of the most (1) ................ schools in the country. A few years ago, it hit the (2) ................
because of its appointment of a new and rather controversial head. Since then scarcely a month has gone by
when it has not (3) ................ in the news for some (4) ................ or another. But if you visit the school there is
every likelihood that you will be (5) ................ astonished by what you see.

2. Complete this table. The first row has been completed as an example.

While training, candidates should get used to completing a table like this before any word formation exercise they
wish to do. Not only will candidates learn about prefixes and suffixes, but they will also learn how to work out the
meanings of words they don't know, which can be useful for the Reading and Listening Papers.

noun verb adjective adverb

comparison compare comparative, comparatively,

(in)comparable (in)comparatively

(in)stability, stabiliser

high

power

observe

develop

doubt, doubter

Understanding affixes
Common prefixes
• in- (and its variations im- before words beginning with ‘m’ or ‘p’, il- before words beginning with ‘l’, and ir- before
words beginning with ‘r’) can make a word negative, as in inappropriate, incapable, inaccuracy, inability
and imperfect.

Productive suffixes
Many suffixes (and prefixes too) are productive. [still used to create new words] You might feel
adventurous enough to try coining some words of your own! [creating] The meaning of the example
words below is clear from the meanings of the root and the suffix.
• -able can be used productively, whereas -ible never is. It combines with verbs to form adjectives. Note that -able
means ‘can be’: a washable jacket [one that can be washed] disposable nappies, predictable results
avoidable problems a manageable situation.
• -conscious combines with nouns to form compound adjectives that describe people who consider one aspect
of their lives especially important: health-conscious person, class-conscious society, safety conscious
company, time-conscious workforce.
• -free combines with nouns describing something undesirable to form compound adjectives to describe nouns

without that undesirable aspect: stress-free life, tax-free shop, additive-free food. • -rich combines with nouns
(often chemical or organic substances) to form compound adjectives to describe nouns with a lot of that
substance: fibre-rich diet, calcium-rich foods.
• -led combines with nouns and nationality adjectives to form compound adjectives describing things that are
controlled or influenced by the original noun or nationality: community-led initiative, student-led protest,
worker-led uprising.
• -minded combines with adjectives or nouns to form new compound adjectives describing people with
particular characters, opinions or attitudes: like-minded friends [with similar interests] career-minded
young women, money-minded managers, high-minded [having high moral standards]
• -proof combines with nouns to form compound adjectives describing things that can resist the damage or
difficulty caused by that noun: ovenproof dish, waterproof jacket, soundproof room, idiot-proof
Instructions.
• -related combines with nouns to form compound adjectives to describe one thing as connected with another:
stress-related absence from work, age-related illness.
• -ridden combines with nouns to form compound adjectives describing people or things with a lot of that noun:
guilt-ridden person, crime-ridden city, bedridden [a person who has to stay in bed because they are ill]
• -worthy combines with nouns to form adjectives that describe people or things that merit whatever the original
noun refers to: newsworthy incident [worth reporting in the news] praiseworthy action/pupil [deserving
praise]

It is important to mention that most of these compound words are occasionally used in the Advanced exam, so
candidates should not focus too much on them.

3. Make new words from the words in CAPITALS at the end of each line to complete the
sentences.

How to do a word formation task (in study mode)

Look at the task on the following page:

CONFUCIUS
The Chinese philosopher Confucius lived in the 6th century BC. He is
thought to have lived a rather (0) UNASSUMING life, working on application of this belief can be seen in university entrance
farms and as a bookkeeper before becoming a teacher. His exams, in which a person's score is the (8) _______________
legacy is a collection of sayings contained in a book called the means for securing their entry.
Analects. His teaching (1) _______________ centres around the ASSUME
individual cultivating their own virtue and personal (2)
_______________. This is achieved through devotion to the
family and learning rules of proper behaviour to (3) IDEA
_______________ the individual (4) _______________. With all STABLE
members of society striving to follow these rules, the (5) STRONG ETHIC
_______________ is that society as a whole will function better PRESUME
and be less inclined to stray toward excess.

Confucius believed in (6) ________________ meritocracy, or the

BRACE
advancement of an individual based on their skills, with wealth or
family connections being completely (7) _______________. The
REGARD DOMINATE

1. Read the text quickly without paying attention to the gaps to get a general idea of it. 2. With the help
of a dictionary, fill a table with all the possible forms for each word on the right:
noun verb adjective adverb

IDEA, IDEOLOGY, IDEALISE IDEAL, IDEALISED, IDEALLY,

IDEALISATION IDEALISTIC IDEALISTICALLY

STABILITY, STABILISE, STABLE, UNSTABLE,

INSTABILITY DESTABILISE

STRENGTH STRENGTHEN STRONG, STRONGLY

STRENGTHENED

ETHIC, ETHICS ETHICAL, UNETHICAL ETHICALLY,

UNETHICALLY

PRESUMPTION PRESUME PRESUMED PRESUMABLY

EMBRACE, BRACE BRACE, EMBRACE BRACING, EMBRACED

REGARDS REGARD, DISREGARD DISREGARDED,

REGARDED,
REGARDING

DOMINATION DOMINATE DOMINATED, DOMINANTLY,

DOMINANT, PREDOMINANTLY
PREDOMINANT

3. Start by analysing every gap: what comes before and/or after to guess what part of speech you will need. a. In
gap 1 we need another noun, as it is preceded by an adjective and is followed by a verb. So, Confucius’
teaching ‘something’ centres around… The only possible option is the ideology, as ‘idealisation’ is more
of an abstract noun.
b. In gap 2 we need again a noun, and from the two possibilities, the positive one (stability) fits better
with the context.
c. In gap 3 we need a verb, as it is preceded by the infinitive particle ‘to’. So, strengthen is the only
option.
d. In gap 4 we need an adverb, because it is describing the way an individual’s behaviour should be
strengthened. From the two options, only the positive one (ethically) fits the context. e. In gap 5 we
need a noun, as it is preceded by the article ‘the’. So, the only choice, presumption fits the gap.

f. Gap 6 is a little tricky. In theory, we need a noun, as in “believe in something”, but the gap is followed
by an object, which indicates that a verb must be used instead. The other option is embrace,
however, as the verb is also the object of the preposition ‘in’, we must use a gerund. Thus,
embracing becomes the answer.
g. In gap 7 we need an adjective (be + adverb + adjective). So among the three options in the table,
only disregarded carries the negative meaning necessary to explain how the
 “advancement of an individual based on their skills” is preferred over “wealth or family”. h. In gap 8
we need an adjective with an active meaning that can describe the noun ‘means’. So, either dominant
or predominant can be used interchangeably with pretty much the same meaning. Dominated cannot
be used as it has a passive meaning.
