Prefix

A prefix is a letter or group of letters, for example 'un-' or 'multi-', which is added to the beginning of a word in order to form a different word. For example, the prefix 'un-' is added to ' happy' to form 'unhappy'. 

Collocations

Collocation is 'a predictable combination of words' for example we can say heavy rain but not strong rain because it does not sound right' likewise, we can say 'do exercise' but not 'make exercise'. Collocations can be made up of any kinds of words such as verbs, nouns, adverbs and adjectives.

Vocabulary, prefixes and collocations 

Get to work on exercises 5 to 11, find the right words in the text

(ex. 5, 7, 9 and 11 are in the word store)

Keep it at a whisper level

Finished? -> Continue choosing a book or start reading (you can read it on the laptop for now)
