π‘ One of the biggest secrets to mastering Part 3 (Word Formation) is reading the grammar around the gap. Youβre not just guessing prefixes and suffixes β youβre deciding what kind of word the sentence actually needs.
Every gap gives you a clue if you slow down and look for it.
π§ Exam Coaching
When you see a gap, ask yourself:π What part of speech fits here β noun, verb, adjective, or adverb?
Look at the words around it.
- After an article (a / an / the) β probably a noun
- Before a noun β probably an adjective
- Before a verb β probably an adverb
- After a modal or βtoβ β probably a verb
Cambridge hides these grammar clues everywhere β they want to see if you can read structure, not just meaning.
π‘ Pro tip:When youβre stuck, donβt look at the root word first.Look at the sentence structure β it tells you 80% of the answer.
π Question:Whatβs your method for spotting the right word type when you do Part 3?
Do you focus on endings, grammar, or just intuition?
