COMMAND WORDS

ACTIVITY

Command words that appear in the Cambridge Assessment International Education syllabus are highlighted in the exam-style questions when they are first introduced, and are accompanied with their syllabus definitions in the margins. Not all command words from the syllabus are included in the exam-style questions, but you will find all command word definitions in the glossary at the back of the book.
