Use of English Part 3

Task 3 of the Use of English part of the exam is a word-formation exercise. In this task, candidates are given a base word and are required to create a new word using prefixes or suffixes. The purpose of this task is to test candidates’ knowledge of word formation and vocabulary.

To complete this task successfully, candidates must be able to identify the appropriate prefix or suffix to use in order to create a new word with a specific meaning. They must also be able to apply the rules of word formation correctly, including rules related to spelling, pronunciation, and stress patterns.

Candidates should be aware that the words that they create may be required to fit into a specific context, and that they may need to use their knowledge of grammar and vocabulary to ensure that their answers are appropriate in that context.

In Reading and Use of English Part 3, you read a text of 150-170 words with eight gaps and one example (0).

In each gap you write the correct form of the words given in CAPITALS at the end of the line.

This part tests

  • your knowledge of vocabulary
  • your ability to form words by adding prefixes and suffixes and making other changes.
