Part 4 — Key Word Transformation
Six questions. Each has a sentence, a key word in capitals (which CANNOT be changed), and a second sentence with a gap. You must complete the second sentence using BETWEEN 3 AND 6 words, INCLUDING the key word.
Strategy
- Read both sentences carefully — the meaning must stay exactly the same
- The key word MUST be used and CANNOT be altered (no plurals, no tense changes)
- Count words: contractions count as 2 (don't = do not = 2 words)
- Common transformations: active↔passive, direct↔reported, conditionals, modals
- Each question scores 2 points (1 for half-correct) — extra valuable
- Time guide: 18 minutes
