Word Forms

Hey guys! Im kinda bored! Lets do something! Lets talk about Word Forms! Isnt it interesting?

It sounds great!

There is a wide variety of techniques used to learn vocabulary in English. This learning vocabulary technique focuses on using word forms as a way to broaden your English vocabulary.

Of course, not all of the definitions are the same. However, the definitions are often closely related

The great thing about word forms is that you can learn a number of words with just one basic definition. In other words, word forms relate to a specific meaning.

Lets start off by quickly reviewing the Eight parts of speech in English:

8 Parts of Speech
1.)Verb- are action words. Examples: run, eat, cry 2.)Noun- is a name of a person, place or thing. 3.) Pronoun- is a word used to take place of a noun. Example: I, you, ours, who 4.) Adjective- modifies a noun or pronoun. Examples: blue ballpen, cold weather 5.) Adverb- modifies a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase or a clause. Example: actively, fast, today, away, once 6.) Prepositions- link nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence. Examples: on, during, in, at, under 7.) Conjunctions- are the words that connect sentences, clauses, phrases, or words and sometimes paragraphs. Example: and 8.) Interjection- is a word added to a sentence to convey strong emotion. Examples: Ouch! Oh no! Hey! Alas!

Not all eight parts of speech will have a form of each word. Sometimes, there are only noun and verb forms. Other times, a word will have related adjectives and adverbs. Here are some examples:

Noun: student Verb: to study Adjective: studious, studied, studying Adverb: studiously

Some words will have more variations. Take the word care:

Noun: care, caregiver, caretaker, carefulness

Verb: to care

Adjective: careful, careless, carefree, careworn

Adverb: carefully, carelessly

Other words will be especially rich because of compounds. Compound words are words made up by taking two words and putting them together to create other words! Take a look at words derived from power:

Noun: power, brainpower, candlepower, firepower, horsepower, hydropower, powerboat, powerhouse, powerlessness, powerlifting, powerpc, powerpoint, superpower, willpower

Verb: to power, to empower, to overpower

Adjective: empowered, empowering, overpowered, overpowering, powerable, powered, powerful, powerless

Adverb: powerfully, powerlessly, overpoweringly

Not all words have so many compound word possibilities. However, there are some words that are used to construct numerous compound words.

There are suffixes used with words to refer to a particular part of speech. Please take a look at the table below.

Verbs -ise -ize -ate -ify Advertise Organize Communicate Verify

Adjectives -ous -ious -al -ial -ic -ive -y -ing -ed humorous hilarious emotional influential generic creative thrifty interesting embarrassed

Nouns (activity, field, characteristic) -tion -ation -ment -ing -ness -ance -ence -ity -ty -ry -y -ism -ics -ure reaction cooperation advertisement accounting happiness maintenance difference ability specialty dentistry assembly journalism linguistics architecture
