Worlds Apart I – Adjectives Unleashed

I was rummaging through my old papers yesterday, and I stumbled upon an old exercise that used to give a lot of headaches to my students while I was teaching Business English.

It’s about adjectives that use prefixes to create antonyms (words of opposite meaning). For example:

I thought some of you might benefit from this exercise, so I made a little game in case you wish to practice.

Since they don’t call me the Ubiquitous Overlord for no reason, the practice includes a bit of a hardcore challenge – 100 adjectives that need to be paired with their respective prefixes to turn them into antonyms.

It’s rather simple: for each given adjective, write the correct prefix to get the correct form. The game counts the current streak and the best streak (but only in one session – if you refresh it, the streaks are lost).

Keep adding the correct prefixes to reach 100 antonyms.

It’s as simple as that. 🤪

Good luck!

Did you make it to 100?
