Noun Formation Medium Exercises

Noun formation medium practice builds on common endings and introduces wider B2 noun patterns. You may need suffixes such as -ity, -ance, -ence, -ship, or -age. These endings form nouns for qualities, states, relationships, actions, and results. For example, able becomes ability, friend becomes friendship, and press can become pressure.

At this level, spelling changes become more important. A final -e may be dropped, a consonant may double, and some noun forms are less predictable. The words around the gap tell you that a noun is needed, but vocabulary knowledge tells you which noun is natural. Always check whether the noun should be singular or plural and whether it names a person, thing, action, quality, or abstract idea. These B2 exercises are strong preparation for mixed word formation tasks. If two noun forms seem possible, choose the one that names the exact idea in the sentence, not only the one with a familiar ending.
