Word formation
Another practical way to improve vocabulary and grammar is to be familiar
with different word forms. This skill has a great significance in the IELTS
test. In both writing tasks, it is a tool that facilitates paraphrasing in case
coming up with synonyms is out of reach. Furthermore, using different word
forms provides writings with various sentence structures. Besides, candidates
should also show flexibility around word forms in the speaking part of the
IELTS test for a high band score. This technique is also used to paraphrase
questions in the IELTS test’s reading and listening sections. Hence, gaining
practical knowledge of word forms plays an indispensable role in the IELTS
test.
