CHECK YOUR ENGLISH VOCABULARY FOR FCE
12. NOUNS AND VERBS TO NOUNS
|
Some nouns can be formed by taking
another noun or verb and either adding letters, removing letters or a
combination of both. This is especially common when we are talking about jobs
and occupations (for example: sail - sailor).
There are no rules which tell you how
each word changes. You must learn each one individually.
The removal or addition of letters
occasionally changes the pronunciation of parts of the original word.
Use the instructions on the right to
change the words on the left to nouns in order to give the names of the
people who do those things. Some of the instructions on the right can be used
more than once.
Example: crime
: minus 1 letter plus -inal = criminal
