PRACTICE YOUR ENGLISH

Many words in English have several forms. There may be a noun form, a verb form, an adjective form, an adverb form (although not every word has all of these forms), and sometimes others. Recognizing word forms can improve your reading comprehension and expand your vocabulary. If you recognize one word form (such as the adjective independent) you will recognize others (such as the noun independence or the adverb independently)
