The article has three appendices which provide:

• lists of words from the most frequent 10,000 BNC/COCA word families containing affixes from the Bauer and Nation lists
• affixes from these lists to memorise
• groups of words containing affixes at each of the Bauer and Nation levels to practice cutting into parts (an answer key is provided).
