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. For example, if you know the verb and the noun forms related to the adjective boring, you can say:  \n• That class was really boring.  \n• I was really bored in that class.  \n• That class was a real bore.  \nAnother reason for paying attention to word families is that for some exams you have to know them.  \nIn the list below, the words printed in bold are words that are very common and important to learn. The other words in the same row are words in the same family, often formed with prefixes and suffixes. Sometimes they are just a different part of speech, for example anger, which is a noun and a verb) . All the words in this list have entries in the dictionary except for some beginning with un-, im-, in-or ir-, or ending with-ly or-ily, where the meaning is always regular. Sometimes words in a word family can have meanings that are very different from others in the group, so you should always check in the dictionary if you are not sure of the meaning.  \n\n| ADJECTIVES | NOUNS | ADVERBS | VERBS |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| able, unable, disabled | ability, disability, inability | ably | enable, disable |\n| acceptable, unacceptable, accepted | acceptance | acceptably,\u003Cbr>unacceptably | accept |\n| accidental | accident | accidentally |  |\n| accurate, inaccurate | accuracy, inaccuracy | accurately,\u003Cbr>inaccurately |  |\n| accusing | accusation, the accused, accuser | accusingly | accuse |\n| achievable | achievement,\u003Cbr>achiever |  | achieve |\n| acting | act, action, inaction, interaction, reaction, transaction |  | act, action |\n| active, inactive, interactive, proactive | activity, inactivity | actively | activate |\n| additional | addition | additionally | add |\n| admirable | admiration, admirer | admirably | admire |\n| advantageous, disadvantaged advantaged | advantage,\u003Cbr>disadvantage | advantageously |  |\n|  | advertisement,\u003Cbr>advertiser\u003Cbr>advertising |  | advertise |\n| advisable,\u003Cbr>inadvisable, advisory | advice, adviser | advisedly | advise |\n\n\n| ADJECTIVES | NOUNS | ADVERBS | VERBS |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| agreeable | agreement,\u003Cbr>disagreement | agreeably | agree, disagree |\n| aimless | aim | aimlessly | aim |\n| amazed, amazing | amazement | amazingly | amaze |\n| angry | anger | angrily | anger |\n| unannounced | announcement,\u003Cbr>announcer | unannounced | announce |\n|  | appearance, disappearance reappearance |  | appear, disappear reappear |\n| applicable, applied | applicant, application |  | apply, reapply |\n| appreciable,\u003Cbr>appreciative | appreciation | appreciatively,\u003Cbr>appreciably | appreciate |\n| approving,\u003Cbr>disapproving | approval, disapproval | approvingly | approve, disapprove |\n| approximate | approximation | approximately | approximate |\n| arguable,\u003Cbr>argumentative | argument | arguably | argue |\n|  | arrangement, rearrangement |  | arrange, rearrange |\n| artistic, arty | art, artist, artistry | artistically |  |\n| ashamed, unashamed, shameful shameless | shame | shamefully,\u003Cbr>shamelessly | shame |\n| attached, unattached, detachable,\u003Cbr>detached | attachment |  | attach, detach |\n|  | attack, counterattack, attacker |  | attack, counterattack |\n| attentive, inattentive | attention, inattention | attentively | attend |\n| attractive,\u003Cbr>unattractive | attraction,\u003Cbr>attractiveness | attractively | attract |\n| authoritarian,\u003Cbr>authoritative\u003Cbr>authorized,\u003Cbr>unauthorized | authority,\u003Cbr>authorization | authoritatively | authorize |\n| available,\u003Cbr>unavailable | availability |  |  |\n| avoidable,\u003Cbr>unavoidable | avoidance | unavoidably | avoid |\n| aware, unaware | awareness | unawares |  |\n| baseless, basic | base, the basics, basis","cbCaicgdAySsB3pZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicgdAySsB3pZ","pdf",162216,29,"English","# WORD FAMILIES\n## Benefits for vocabulary and fluency\n## Examples of related word forms\n## Using word families for exams\n## How to read the word-family list","[{\"question\":\"What are word families in English learning?\",\"answer\":\"Word families are groups of related words that often share a common meaning and are formed by prefixes and suffixes, or by changing part of speech.\"},{\"question\":\"How do word families help with speaking and writing?\",\"answer\":\"Becoming familiar with word families lets learners express themselves in more ways and become more fluent when speaking and writing.\"},{\"question\":\"Why might word families be important for exams?\",\"answer\":\"The material notes that some exams require knowledge of word families.\"}]","WORD FAMILIES - Word Families and Vocabulary Expansion | PDF",1790846320,73]
