Strategic Tips That Build English Skills

Learn word hooks:

A “hook” is adding one letter to an existing word to create a new word. For example: adding S to CARE makes CARES, or adding D to HEAR makes HEARD. This teaches you word forms and conjugations — a core English skill.

Practice with prefixes:

UN-, RE-, PRE-, MIS-, OUT-, OVER- can all be added to existing words. Knowing these multiplies your vocabulary instantly: do → undo → redo, place → replace → misplace.

Study word endings:

-ED (past tense), -ING (present), -ER (comparative/person), -LY (adverb), -TION (noun). Recognizing these patterns helps you understand new words even before looking them up.
