- Changing words into different forms
- Building sentences with the right word
- Noticing how words work together
- Speaking with new word forms
One Word, Many Jobs
Explore how words can have different grammatical functions and how their forms sometimes change.
Read these two sentences:
| A. Verb | B. Noun |
| Things can change quickly. | There was a big change in the plan. |
The word change is a verb in sentence A and a noun in sentence B.
Your Turn: Explore these four words and use their noun and verb forms in two different sentences.
| Help | Answer | Decide | Success |
Remember
Not every word can be used as both a verb and a noun. Sometimes, you need to change the word into a different form from the same word family.
Use them: Identify the part of speech of each word—is it a noun, a verb, or both? Then create your own sentences using each word and read them aloud. If a word can be both a noun and a verb, create one sentence for each use.
Change the Word
Practise changing the form of a word so that it fits correctly into a sentence.
Now, create one new sentence with each answer.
Find the Correct Expression
Practise choosing words that naturally go together in common English expressions.
Choose the correct word in each pair.
Use them: Say each expression aloud. Then choose three expressions and make a complete sentence with each one.
Build a Word Family
Discover how one word can develop into different forms with different grammatical functions.
Example:
| Noun | Adjective | Adverb |
| Success | Successful | Successfully |
Your Turn: Find at least two different forms for each word.
| Care | Difference | Use | Comfort |
You don’t need to find every possible form.
Speaking Challenge: Choose one word family and use two different forms in a short spoken response.
Example: The project was successful. The team worked successfully together.
Stop! Choose the Word
Practise choosing the correct word form by recognising when a sentence needs an adjective or an adverb.
Choose the word that fits each sentence.
Match the Words
Your Turn: Read the complete sentences aloud. Choose three and add one extra detail to each.
Example: They reached an agreement after a long discussion.
Word Choice Challenge
Extra Challenge: Choose one pair and explain the difference between the two words in your own words.
Final Workout — The Vocabulary Test
Put your vocabulary skills to the test by correcting mistakes, recognising word forms, and expressing ideas accurately.
Round 1 — Spot the Mistake
Each sentence contains one word-form mistake. Find it and correct it.
- The manager responded polite to the complaint.
- Her explanation was very confuse.
- The weather changed sudden during the afternoon.
- The instructions were written in a very simplicity way.
Round 2 — What’s the Word?
Use the clues to find the missing word. Think about its meaning and grammatical function.
- A noun meaning the ability to wait calmly without becoming annoyed.
- An adjective describing something that can be trusted or depended on.
- An adverb meaning in a way that is easy to understand.
- A noun describing the feeling of being proud or pleased with something you have achieved.
