🟣 The English Lab | Part 3 Tip – Word Formation
Here is a quick reminder for Word Formation. The grammar around the gap tells you exactly what the new word should become. Do not look at the base word first. Look at the sentence. Example: She gave a very ___ answer. (CONFIDENCE) The word goes before a noun, so you need an adjective. confident, not confidence or confidently. This is the key to Part 3. You change the word to match the sentence, not the other way around. 👉 Comment one base word that always confuses you in Word Formation. I will help you transform it.
🟣 The English Lab | Part 2 Practice – Open Cloze
Let’s get today’s training in. Complete the sentence with ONE missing word. I have not spoken to her ___ we finished school. 👉 Comment your answer below. I will post the correct one and the explanation later today. Exam Coaching This type of question checks if you know time linkers that connect a past event to the present. The missing word must fit the grammar and meaning of the whole sentence. Ask yourself: - Does the action start in the past and continue now? - Which connector links those two points in time naturally? One small word makes the whole structure work. Pro tip If a sentence describes something that began in the past and continues today, think present perfect and the linkers that go with it.
