the gap (noun, verb, adjective or adverb).
►
Decide what part of the word is needed,
that is, a singular or plural noun, the correct tense or part of
a verb.
►
Check whether the sense suggests a negative
prefix (e.g.
un–, dis–) or suffix (e.g. –less).
►
If you add a suffix, check whether any other
spelling change is needed, e.g.
beauty >> beautiful.
