Strategy 3, Part 2, Restructuring Grammar & Vocabulary, Short Answer Exercise

There are many techniques that you can use when paraphrasing. You can...

...change stuctures with words that modify nouns (such as 'who / which / where / that')

...change infinitives (e.g 'to eat') to gerunds (e.g. 'eating') or vice-versa whenever possible

...change the part of speech (word form) (e.g. nouns to verbs or verbs to nouns)

...change the voice: change passive to active or active to passive

...choose words opposite to the original (e.g. 'A gave B money' = 'B received money from A'

...change words that compare (words with 'er' / 'more ')

Drag and drop the examples on the right to the type of paraphrasing which that example represents on the left.
