🧠 Grammar / Strategy Focus
TOEIC Part 5 frequently tests word forms — whether a blank needs a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. An article (a, an, the) or possessive usually signals a noun is needed; a linking verb (be, become, seem) often needs an adjective; and a verb often needs an adverb to modify it. Many English words share a root but change form with suffixes, such as -tion/-sion (noun), -ive/-al (adjective), and -ly (adverb): publish → publication → published → publicly.
