    Word formation
    In a sentence or text you have to change the form of a word, e.g. from a noun to an adjective, or
    from a verb to a noun. For example:

    The _____ was very nervous. (sing)

    You have to complete the sentence with the person noun (singer). You change the verb (sing)
    into the person noun (singer).

    Look at the word you have to change. Which words do you know that are in the same
    word family?
    The beginning of the word is often the same and the end of the word changes.
    What form is the new word? A verb? A noun? An adjective? An adverb?
    Nouns often end: -ment, -ion, -ness, -ity.
    People nouns often end: -er, -or, -ist, -ian.
    Adjectives often end: -able, -ible, -ive, -al, -ic, -ed, -ing.
    Some verbs end: -ise, -ate, -en.
    Adverbs often end: -ly.
    Is the new word negative? If so, you may need a prefix, e.g. un- (unhappy), im-
    (impolite), in- (inexperienced), dis- (dishonest), etc.
    Write the correct form of the word in brackets to fill the gaps.

    1. He gets a lot of (ENJOY) from football.______________


    2. Money doesnt always bring (HAPPY)._________________
    3. It is (HONEST) to take something that isnt yours._______________
    4. My dad gets very (PATIENT) when he has to wait ages for the train._______________
    5. I want to be a (SCIENCE) when Im older._______________
