Knowing how to change the form of a word (for example, from a noun to an adjective, or from a verb to a noun) will ensure you not only do well in the First Certificate exam, but it will also increase your vocabulary and give you heaps more confidence when speaking to people. It's a win-win situation! :)
Tips:
* What form do I have to change the word to? A verb? A noun? An adjective? An adverb?
* Nouns often end with ment, ion, ness, ity.
* People nouns often end with er, or, ist, ian.
* Adjectives often end with able, ible, ive, al, ic, ed, ing.
* Some verbs end with ise, ate, en.
* Adverbs often end with ly.
* If the new word is negative, then you may need a prefix (un, im, in, dis...)
And remember: if you don't know the answer, then guess! It's much better than not trying at all.
