Root words often combine with prefixes and suffixes to change both their meaning and word class. For example, adding prefixes like dis– and un- changes the meaning of the root. Like, discomfort aor unhappy, are the opposites of comfort ad happy, the root words.

Understanding etymology can enhance vocabulary, understand the nuances of language, and recognize patterns in word formation. It can also provide insights into cultural and historical contexts.

To make a complete sentence, certain time expressions are used with present continuous tenses. These include: today, now, right now, at the moment, these days, currently, nowadays, this week, etc.

For example:

• He is working on a project right now.
• Currently, we are working from home.
• Today, I am going for an interview.

To make a question in present continuous tense, place the helping verb is/am/are before the subject of the sentence, and then add the main verb in 'ing' form.

For example:

• Are you studying English Verbs?
• Is she dancing at the party?

Another way to make a question in present continuous tense is by using question words like What, Where, When, Who, etc., at the beginning of the sentence.

For example:

• What are you doing?
• Where are we going?
• Who is coming for the party?

To make a negative sentence in present continous, add 'not' after the helping verb is/am/are. The structure for Present Continuous Tense in Negative Form is:

Subject + is/am/are + not + verb + ing

For example:

• I am not playing football.
• He is not watching TV today.
• She is not cooking.

Negatives in present continuous tense are used when we want to deny that an action is happening right now.

For most programs at Uppsala University Sweden, the English language requirement is equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. This can be done by submitting IELTS / TOEFL or equivalent test scores. The minimum scores required are:

Yes, we can use present continuous tense to talk about the planned or definite future events.

For example:

• We are meeting our Science teacher tomorrow.
• She is leaving for New York next week.

These two sentences shows that the plan is already made and will be fulfilled in the future. By writing or speaking a sentence about fixed future event using present continuous tense makes the plan more certain compared to using 'will' or 'shall'.

There are two Master's courses offered by Uppsala Uni in Sweden in the disciplines LLM Environmental Law and Investment Treaty Arbitration. Both of these courses are taught in English. The Environmental Law course gives students the theoretical and methodological knowledge about Environmental Law. Whereas, during the Investment Treaty Arbitration program studies, students can expect to discuss and analyze the basic principles and rules of international (investment) arbitration as the predominant mode of dispute settlement in the field.

Students should score 7 or above in IELTS, 100 or above in TOEFL, and over 65 in PTE. The English language requirements are similar for most of the UG and PG programs. Fulfilling the English language requirement is one of the important factors during admission.

At the Master's level, over 30 courses whose language of instruction is English are offered. Some of the study areas of these Master's courses are given below:

• Agricultural Sciences
• Atmospheric Sciences
• Computer Science
• Data Science
