NP-Complete

This is a practice problem. I know that Sat, 3Sat is NP-complete. But how to show that 4-CNF Sat is also NP-complete?

can you transform a 3Sat problem to 4-CNF Sat?

You meant "REDUCE"? I think we can, but what is the right way to transform?
There is something you can do to turn any generic 3Sat problem into a 4. It's pretty simple so I don't want to just give it away since you will benefit from thinking of it yourself.
