This resource is a detailed "Cheat List" for learners preparing for the FCE (B2) exam, focused primarily on the "Use of English" section. It offers clear explanations and examples for key grammar concepts such as passive voice, causative passive, conditionals (types 1–3), "I wish" and "If only" structures, and inversion for emphasis. Additionally, it provides structured advice on reported speech, comparisons, and modal verbs.
The cheat sheet also includes tips for open cloze exercises, helping students identify context, use collocations, and ensure correct grammar and syntax. A section on word formation outlines common spelling rules and suffix changes for nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. It explains how to form words with common prefixes and suffixes, how to identify word patterns, and how to avoid common errors.
Further sections tackle multiple-choice exercises, providing strategies for recognizing collocations, understanding prepositions, and paying attention to contextual clues. The cheat sheet concludes with practical advice on time management, eliminating incorrect answers, and avoiding traps in the FCE exam.
Finally, sample practice exercises for different topics (e.g., cooking, the Amazon rainforest, TikTok trends) are included to reinforce learning.
