PLEASE NOTE: While these materials can be helpful—especially for teachers who often need ready-made resources — studying grammar like this is not an effective way to learn a language and often rather prevents students from actually learning something. The best way to learn a language is through comprehensible input—reading and listening to things you can understand.
This text was put together with the help of AI (ChatGPT), but the ideas are the author’s and are based on many years of experience with teaching and learning languages.

Word formation exercises are not particularly useful for learning English. However, they are a standard part of many international exams (e.g. FCE or CAE) and university entrance tests, where they do serve a purpose—they provide a good indication of a student's level of English.
The following worksheets were created specifically to help students prepare for these types of exams. Exercises marked with the letter B contain the same target words as those in exercises marked A, but used in different sentences. This makes them suitable for revision and testing.
