Exam tips and strategies Use of English – Key Word Transformations (Part 5) The focus is both lexical and grammatical and a range of structures is tested. There is usually more than one point being tested. You have to show the ability to express a message in different ways. The second sentence must convey the same information as the first one, but in different ways. You must not change the key word in any way. You should only use 3 – 6 words to fill the gap, including the word given. If you add more words or write too few words, you will lose marks. Don’t add any words that are not necessary. Some questions may require you to change from a negative sentence to a positive one, or from an active structure to a passive, that’s why read both sentences very carefully – look before and after the gap for hints. Contractions count as two words, apart from ‘can’t’, which can be written as one word (cannot).
4 Exam Practice Key Word Transformations Part 5 (grammar + vocabulary) Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given. Do not change the word given. You must use between three and six words, including the word given. a

I lay motionless, trying to regain control of my thoughts. So instead I began to descend slowly.
