Sure! Let's break down the exercises step by step. ### Exercise 1 In this exercise, we need to add the correct prefixes to create opposites of the adjectives provided. The prefixes we can use are: **il-**, **im-**, **in-**, **ir-**, and **un-**. Here's a quick summary of the prefixes: - **il-**: used before words starting with 'l' (e.g., legal → illegal) - **im-**: used before words starting with 'm', 'p', and 'b' (e.g., possible → impossible) - **in-**: used before words starting with 'c', 'd', 'g', 'l', 'r', 't' (e.g., adequate → inadequate) - **ir-**: used before words starting with 'r' (e.g., regular → irregular) - **un-**: used widely for many adjectives (e.g., active → inactive) Let's fill in the table based on these rules: | Adjective | Prefix | Opposite | |--------------|--------|------------------| | active | un- | inactive | | adequate | in- | inadequate | | coherent | incoherent | | | compatible | incompatible | | | complete | incomplete | | | conscious | unconscious | | | controllable | uncontrollable | | | dependent | independent | | | digested | indigestible | | | direct | indirect | | | fertile | infertile | | | fit | unfit | | | healthy | unhealthy | | | hygienic | unhygienic | | | legal | illegal | | | movable | immovable | | | operable | inoperable | | | palpable | impalpable | | | pure | impure | | | qualified | unqualified | | | reducible | irreducible | | | regular | irregular | | | sanitary | unsanitary | | | soluble | insoluble | | | stable | unstable | | | well | unwell | | ### Exercise 2 Now, we will use fifteen of the adjectives from the table to complete the sentences. The first one has been done for you: 1. He was found **unconscious** in the street. 2. He felt **unwell** and had to go home. 3. The serum makes the poison **inactive**. 4. The children have a very **unhealthy** diet. 5. The nurse noted that the patient had developed an **irregular** pulse. 6. She used to play a lot of tennis, but she became **inactive** in the winter. 7. The surgeon decided that the cancer was **inoperable**. 8. Cholera spread rapidly because of the **unsanitary** conditions in the town. 9. The patient was showing signs of an **inadequate** mental condition. 10. She has an **irrational** desire to drink alcohol. ### Extension As suggested, you can practice with a partner by asking questions about the opposites of the adjectives you discussed. For example: - “What’s the opposite of **conscious**?” - The answer is: **unconscious**. This practice will help reinforce your understanding of the prefixes and their usage in English!
