Word families: building possibilities...

Words often come in families. You can expand your vocabulary by becoming familiar with these word families and this can also enable you to become a more fluent speaker and writer of English. If you know all the possible words within a word family, you can express yourself in a wider range of ways. or example, if you know the verb and the noun forms related to the ad!ective boring, you can say: " #$%# &'%(( W%( )E%''Y boring. " I W%( )E%''Y bored in that class. " #$%# &'%(( W%( % )E%' bore. %nother reason for paying attention to word families is that for some exams you have to know them. In the list below, the words printed in bold are words that are very common and important to 'E%)*. #$E +#$E) W+),( I* #$E (%-E )+W %)E W+),( I* #$E (%-E %-I'Y, + #E* +)-E, WI#$ .)Efi/E( %*, (0 fi/E(. (+-E#I-E( #$EY %)E 10(# % ,I E)E*# .%)# + (.EE&$, +) E/%-.'E anger, which is a noun and a verb2. %ll the words in this list have entries in the dictionary except for some begin3 ning with un-, im-, in- or ir-, or ending with -ly or -ily, where the meaning is always regular. (+-E#I-E( W+),( I* % W+), %-I'Y &%* $%4E -E%*I*5( #$%# %)E 4E)Y ,I E)E*# )+- +#$E)( I* #$E group, so you should always check in the dictionary if you are not sure of the meaning.
