Read the text and fill in the gaps with the correct forms of the given words

A common way of word formation is [ ]suffixes. A suffix is a combination of letters added to the end of a word to make a new word. Each part of speech has its common suffixes, which, of course, should be learnt. For example, the suffix -ly is usually an adverb suffix, -ise is a verb suffix, -ege, -al, -ee, -er are noun suffixes, etc. And again some of them have meanings which can sometimes help you with the meaning of an [ ]word. Attention should also be paid to the [ ].

Conversion means that we take a word and use it as a different part of speech without changing anything. The [ ]ever example is the word "milk". Everybody knows it as a noun, but, [ ], it can be a verb which means "to extract milk from a cow". Besides, "milk" can be used as an adjective, like in the word combination "milk chocolate". There are plenty of examples, such as "text", "must", "salt", "bed", "stop", "fool", "chair", "gift", "host", and many others.

The last but not the [ ] way of word formation is compounding. This means that we take two bases of different words and join them together making a new word. Quite often, the first word shows the main feature of the second word. For example, "bathroom", "haircut", "sunlight", "bookworm", "jellyfish", "seafood", "overbook", "good-looking", "long-lasting", etc. They can be [ ]parts of speech.
