Word formation is an essential part of any English language assessment and should be
treated as a priority. Word formation refers to the word families, meaning the different
forms of a single word (noun, verb, adjective, adverb). Word formation is a key part of
all levels of language use from A1 to C2. You should always learn all the forms of the
words with the START method to consolidate them.
To make the learning of word formation easier, it is recommendable to focus on the

word class. A good thing to do is know the different forms of the word to enhance your
writing skills. For example; know (I know a lot of English vocabulary) or knowledge (I
have a vast knowledge of English vocabulary.
