Does anyone know of any good vocabulary builder websites?

Rawky-Roo

I'm looking for something to help my students, and myself, with their vocabulary.

What I'd like is a website where you enter a word and it gives you all the forms of that word:

verb

adjective

gerund

noun

adverb

etc

I know about online dictionaries, but was wondering if there was a more precise, organised website.

Any clues?

Sorry! Good luck with it!
I'm always reminded of the time a qualified Iraqi who was working as a short order cook in a German village.
He discovered there were some English people in and came out to practice. Him and Mrs Jer had a long conversation about the above, poetry rules and all of those things like litotes, oxymorons, hyperbole, and metaphors, and something called iambic pentameters. I didn't understand a single word.

Didn't Iambic Pentameter read the news last night?

No idea, sorry Rawky. All I can think of is look on TEFL sites for links? The resource you're looking for would be in demand with teachers, and surely someone's invented it!

Jon Snow appears as a TV newsreader in the film Coriolanus and speaks using iambic pentameter.
